Your DDS-3 Drive Configuration

Your HP-UX operating system comes with preconfigured device files and drivers. If you use these preconfigured device files and drivers, you won't need to configure your DDS-3 drive with the operating system.

To find out more about creating and using device files, see the owner's guide that came with your system.
