Windows 2000 / Windows XP / Windows Server 2003 (32 & 64-Bit)
This file contains instructions for installing the Quantum DLTtape™ Tape Drive device driver on Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 systems. This driver is for X86 and X64 Platforms.
NOTE: This driver has been digitally signed by Microsoft.
1. Shutdown Windows if it is running and power down the system.
2.
Connect the DLTtape drive to the system.
NOTE: For SCSI devices,
ensure that the SCSI bus is terminated correctly and that there are no target
ID conflicts. For SATA devices, Quantum recommends that the device be attached
to an independent SATA connection that is not shared with any other SATA or IDE
devices. For USB devices, Quantum
recommends that the device be attached to a USB 2.0 connection.
