SDLT Tape Drives Reference Guide
Installing Drivers on Windows NT 4.0
These instructions apply to the Windows NT Backup Utility and other
applications that don't provide their own drivers.
Note:
Before starting the driver installation, verify that your tape drive is properly
connected. Windows NT 4.0 only allows you to install tape device drivers sequentially.
If you have other tape devices installed without drivers, install those drivers before
attempting the following procedure, or click Cancel to bypass each tape device.
1. Click the Start button and then select Settings > Control Panel to open the
Windows Control Panel.
2. Double-click the Tape Devices icon.
3. The Tape Devices dialog box is displayed and indicates that the driver for the
new tape drive is not loaded. If the system does not automatically scan for
new devices, select Detect. This scanning process creates a list of device
drivers available for installation.
4. In the Install Driver dialog box, click Have Disk. The Install From Disk dialog
box is displayed.
5. In the Copy manufacturer's files from field, type the driver path as shown
below, and then select OK. Substitute the correct drive letter for your CD
ROM drive.
For Intel systems:
E:drivers\StandAloneTapeDrive\nt4\I386\\dlt\dlt+sdlt
6. In the Install Driver dialog box, select the appropriate driver for your tape
drive and click OK.
7. In the New SCSI Tape Device Found dialog box, click OK.
8. In the Tape Devices dialog box, click OK. This step completes the driver
installation. Remove the CD and restart your system.
