Using HP Library & Tape Tools
HP Library & Tape Tools checks for the presence of a SCSI controller and its driver software and
identifies the SCSI IDs of existing SCSI devices. You can then select the required device from the device
list and run one of the diagnostic utilities for that device by selecting the appropriate icon: Identity,
Firmware, Test or Support.
For ease of use, comprehensive online help is built into the software.
