Rails for Dell servers may also be ordered separately. Different models of server require different rail
kits. For more details, refer to the HP support web site: //www.hp.com/support/dlt1
Other computers use non-standard mounting rails and do not include spares.
If this is the case with
your system, you will have to order these accessories from the computer manufacturer before you can
install the tape drive
.
Backup software
You need a backup application that supports the HP Surestore DLT1 drive. A TapeWare CD-ROM
containing backup software by Yosemite Technologies is supplied with your tape drive.
As a general rule, native backup applications (such as NTBackup and tar) do not provide the data
streaming rate required to support the full performance of your HP Surestore DLT1 tape drive. We
recommend using a backup application that can provide the required data streaming rate as well as
other useful features, such as TapeAlert. Computer Associates, HP, Veritas and Legato all provide
suitable products that have been tested with HP Surestore drives. For the latest list of backup
applications that support HP Surestore drives, please consult our World Wide Web site
(www.hp.com/go/connect).
Applications usually recognize tape drives by their manufacturers’ internal identifiers rather than their
model numbers, so check the table below for the appropriate reference for your model.
