The Windows Storage Server operating system requires you to install device drivers
before application software can correctly communicate with tape drives, either in a
library or standalone, connected to the nTier700.
Do not use the Hardware Update Wizard in the Windows Device Manager to install
the tape drive device drivers. The wizard does not install the drivers correctly on the
nTier700. If you previously installed device drivers using the wizard, you must
remove the drivers and then reinstall the drivers. Follow the instructions in
“Updating Tape Drive Device Drivers” in the Spectra nTier700 Backup and Archive
Appliance User Guide to remove the drivers and then reinstall them.
