Updating Tape Drive Device Drivers

2.Download the updated drivers to the nTier700 server.

Note: If your nTier700 has internet access, download the driver archive file directly to a known location on the nTier700 system disk. Otherwise, save the downloaded driver archive file to a USB drive using a computer that does have internet access and then copy the file to a known location on the nTier700 system disk.

a.Using a web browser, go to the IBM Tape Device Driver for Windows Platforms page, which displays a list of download directories.

Note: You can also reach this page from the Drive Firmware & Drivers page on the Spectra Logic web site (www.spectralogic.com/downloads > Tape Drive Firmware & Drivers).

b.Scroll down to the Download Pages section and select Windows directory on the IBM Tape Device Drivers FTP site.

c.Select Win2003.

The IBM FTP page displays a list of download directories, including one titled “Latest” and one titled “WHQL_Cert” (Windows Hardware Quality Labs certified).

d.Select the download directory to display a list of zipped file archives (.zip files).

Select...	If your organization...
Latest	Does not have a policy against using non-WHQL certified drivers.
WHQL_Cert	Has a policy against using non-WHQL certified drivers.

e.Select the file with .x64 in the file name (for example, IBMTape.x64_6204.zip).

f.Save the zip file containing the drivers to a known location on the nTier700 system drive.

3.Extract (unzip) the file into the following folder:

C:\Program Files (x86)\SpectraLogic\drivers\

This creates a new folder whose name includes the latest driver version number. For example:

C:\Program Files (x86)\SpectraLogic\drivers\IBMTape.x64_6204
