Installing the Drive

Using The Tape Drive

7Check all cables in your computer system

Make sure that no cables have loosened during the installation. Make sure that all cables are routed so that they will not bind or become crimped when you replace the cover of your computer.

8Reinstall your computer cover

Your new tape drive is ready for use. However, you may need to install drivers for your operating system, as described in step 9.

9Install drivers (Windows systems only)

The first time you restart your computer after installing the Travan 40 tape drive, the Windows operating system will try to identify the drive. To complete this process, you need to install the Windows tape drivers supplied on your Quantum Tape Resource CD.

Windows systems include a driver installation wizard, which will step you through the process. When asked to locate the drivers, insert your Quantum Tape Resource CD into your CD-ROM drive and select to have the wizard find the drivers automatically on the CD.
