Device Driver Installation B. Storage Device and Driver Information ================================================================== A. Device Driver Installation ============================= Tape Device Driver Installation Instructions Windows NT 4.0 ================================================================== To install tape device driver files: 1. Select "Control Panel" from the "Settings" menu. 2. Double click on the "Tape Devices" icon. Choose the "Drivers" tab. 3. Make a note of the type of drivers currently installed. For each of the tape drivers you want to update, sequentially select each driver and click "Remove" to remove the driver from list. If you are initially adding new drivers, please skip this step. 4. Select "Add..." from the "Drivers" tab. 5. Select the "Have Disk..." button. 6. Enter the drive/path to the directory where the desired "oemsetup.inf" file is stored on disk. 7. Select "OK" in the "Install From Disk" window. 8. Select one of the options in the "Choose the driver you want to install, and then click OK." list in the "Install Driver" window; i.e., select the description of the set of tape drives that you want load a device driver for. 9. Select "OK" in the "Install Driver" window. 10. If the option appears, then select "New" in the "Windows NT Setup" dialog; then enter the same drive/path to the floppy disk that was entered in step #6 above. IMPORTANT: always select "New" if it appears -- do NOT select "Current" 11. If you wish to install other tape device drivers, select "No" in the "System Settings Change - Do you want to restart your computer now?" window and repeat steps 4 to 10. After all the needed device drivers have been installed, select "Yes" in this window to shutdown and restart Windows NT. This will activate the changes made. B. Storage Device and Driver Information ======================================== The following is a list of drivers supplied with Backup Exec v7.2. This list displays specific device support for each driver class as of October 6, 1998. Any capacities noted with specific devices assumes no hardware compression. The left column (where noted) identifies the SCSI INQUIRY string of the device. The right column identifies Vendor and/or Model. Note: Any information referenced with "loader" pertains to the drive internal to a loader. Autoloader support requires a separate driver. Autoloader support is not available for Backup Exec Small Business Server Suite for Windows NT Version 7.x. 4mmdat.sys ~~~~~~~~~~ AIWA GD-201 Aiwa 4000 DDS-1 AIWA GD-8000 Aiwa DDS-2 ARCHIVE Python All PYTHON DAT drives ARCHIVE IBM4326 IBM OEM DDS-2 ARCHIVE 4322XX Archive/OEM DDS-1 ARCHIVE 4326XX Archive/OEM DDS-2 ARCHIVE 4586XX Archive DDS-2 loader ARCHIVE IBM4586 IBM OEM DDS-2 loader DEC TLZ6 DEC DDS-1 loader DEC TLZ06 DEC DDS-1 DEC TLZ7 DEC DDS-1 loader DEC TLZ07 DEC DDS-1 EXABYTE EXB-4200 Exabyte DDS-1 EXABYTE EXB-4200c Exabyte DDS-1 HP HP35470A HP/OEM DDS-1 HP HP35480A HP/OEM DDS-1 HP IBM35480A IBM DDS-1 HP C1533A HP/OEM DDS-2 HP C1537A HP/OEM DDS-3 HP C1553A HP/OEM DDS-2 loader HP C1557A HP/OEM DDS-3 loader IBM HP35480A IBM DDS-1 IOMEGA DAT4000 Aiwa DDS-1 SEAGATE DAT All Scorpion DAT drives WangDAT Model 3100 WangDAT DDS-1 WangDAT Model 3200 WangDAT DDS-1 WangDAT Model 3400DX WangDAT DDS-2 LaserBank 1300D HP 35470 DDS-1 LaserBank 2000D HP 35480 DDS-1 archqic.sys ~~~~~~~~~~~ ARCHIVE ANCDA 2800 Archive/Conner Anaconda ARCHIVE ANCDA 2750 Archive/Conner Anaconda ARCHIVE VIPER 2525 Archive/Conner Viper ARCHIVE VIPER 150 Archive/Conner Viper dlttape.sys ~~~~~~~~~~~ CIPHER T860 Cipher 6GB CIPHER L860 Cipher loader 6GB CIPHER TZ86 DEC 6GB CIPHER DLT2000 DEC/Quantum 10GB CIPHER THZ02 DEC 6GB DEC TZ86 DEC 6GB DEC TZ87 DEC 10GB DEC TZ88 DEC 20GB DEC TZ89 DEC 35GB DEC DLT2000 DEC 10GB DEC DLT2500 DEC 10GB loader DEC DLT2700 DEC 10GB loader DEC DLT4000 DEC 20GB DEC DLT4500 DEC 20GB loader DEC DLT4700 DEC 20GB loader Quantum DLT2000 Quantum/OEM 10GB/15GB(xt) Quantum DLT2500 Quantum 10GB loader Quantum DLT2700 Quantum 10GB loader Quantum DLT4000 Quantum/OEM 20GB Quantum DLT4500 Quantum 20GB loader Quantum DLT4700 Quantum 20GB loader QUANTUM DLT7000 Quantum/OEM 35GB exabmqic.sys ~~~~~~~~~~~~ EXABYTE EXB-2501 Exabyte miniQIC exabyte1.sys ~~~~~~~~~~~~ EXABYTE EXB-8200 Exabyte/OEM 8200 series EXABYTE 8200SX Exabyte/OEM 8200 series exabyte2.sys ~~~~~~~~~~~~ EXABYTE EXB-8205 Exabyte/OEM 8205 series EXABYTE EXB-8500 Exabyte/OEM 8500 series EXABYTE EXB8500C Exabyte/OEM 8500c series EXABYTE EXB-8505 Exabyte/OEM 8505 series EXABYTE IBM-8505 IBM 8mm EXABYTE EXB-8900 Exabyte/OEM 8900 series hpt4qic.sys ~~~~~~~~~~~ HP T4000 HP TR4 scsiopt.sys ~~~~~~~~~~~ HP SureStore Optical 1300T 1.3 GB HP SureStore Optical 2600fx 2.6 GB HP SureStore Optical 5200ex 5.2 GB Iomega Zip 100 MB Iomega Jaz 1 GB Maxoptix T6-5200 5.2 GB Pinnacle Micro Apex 4.6 GB Pinnacle Micro Vertex 2.6 GB Sony SMO-F544 2.6 GB Sony SMO-F551 5.2 GB scsioptf.sys ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Compaq PD Drive Panasonic LF-1000 PD Drive sonysdx.sys ~~~~~~~~~~~ SONY SDT-2000 Sony/OEM DDS-1 SONY SDT-4000 Sony/OEM DDS-1 SONY SDT-5000 Sony/OEM DDS-2 SONY SDT-5200 Sony/OEM DDS-2 SONY SDT-7000 Sony/OEM DDS-2 SONY TSL-7000 Sony/OEM DDS-2 loader SONY SDT-9000 Sony/OEM DDS-3 SONY TSL-9000 Sony/OEM DDS-3 loader SONY SDX-300 Sony/OEM AIT 8mm SEAGATE AIT Seagate Sidewinder AIT DEC TLZ09 DEC DDS-2 DEC TLZ9 DEC DDS-2 loader Please note that Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 4MMDAT.SYS driver also recognizes most of these drives.

If exchange between different tape drive manufacturers is desired, then software compression (or no compression at all) should be used. Additionally, it is recommended that when hardware compression is used on the first set on tape, all subsequent sets should also be hardware compressed. Mixing of hardware and software compression on the same tape should be avoided. However, mixing of software compression and sets containing no compression is acceptable. Notes on specific loaders ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Spectra Logic SPECTRA 4000, 5000, 9000 & 10000 Tape Library - This loader's touch pad is not disabled during Backup Exec operation. The only functionality that is disabled is tape movement from slots to the access door. This makes it possible to move tapes around in the magazine; however, various Backup Exec hardware errors will result. Notes on Adaptec AHA-154x contoller ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Using Adaptec 154x cards earlier than "E rev" may cause tape autoloaders to fail. The aha154x.sys driver in NT 4.0 will reject certain commands causing the driver/software to appear broken.
