Installing drivers on Windows
Two drivers are required in order to use HP StorageWorks DAT Tape Autoloaders.
•
hpdat: This is the driver that works with all HP DAT tape products.
•
hpdatchg: This is the driver for the autoloader robotics.
Both drivers are regularly updated and are available on the HP StorageWorks CD-ROM or on the
HP Support web site.
The CD contains a driver install package for the following Microsoft Windows operating systems:
Windows Server 2000 and Windows Server 2003. If you prefer to use Windows Device Manager to
install the drivers manually, you will find them in the drivers directory on the CD-ROM.
IMPORTANT:
We strongly recommend that you use the installer package on the HP StorageWorks CD-ROM to install
the drivers BEFORE you connect the autoloader.
Updates to the drivers may be provided from time to time on the HP support web site
(
www.hp.com/support
). We recommend that these are installed after using the installer on the CD-ROM.
Recommended install process, before connecting the autoloader
1.
Insert the StorageWorks CD.
2.
Select the drivers link.
3.
Run the automated installer and follow the process to load the driver onto the system.
4.
Once you have installed the autoloader and rebooted, as described in this guide, the autoloader will
be detected automatically and the correct driver will be used.
Alternative install process, after connecting the autoloader
If you have not already installed drivers, the Windows Found New Hardware wizard may run when you
power on the server and autoloader.

Follow the on-screen instructions to search for the required driver on the CD-ROM.
Or:
1.
Cancel the wizard and insert the HP StorageWorks CD-ROM.
2.
Select the drivers link on the CD-ROM.
3.
Run the automated installer and follow the process to load the driver onto the system.
