Preparing for Installation
Before you install a DAStape unit, complete these steps:
• Identify the host that is to be associated with the unit, and its operating system.
• Determine how the DAStape is to be used with your backup software.
Proper Installation Environment
When planning the DAStape installation, note that the unit, drives, and media must be
maintained in a controlled environment. Environmental extremes and large quantities
of airborne particulates can cause erratic operation of any peripheral, including the
DAStape unit. See Appendix A. Specifications for information on DAStape operating
specifications and tape drive operating specifications.
