Installing the Hardware 9

13. Refer to the printout from the Install Assistant (see page 3). Find the section
labeled WHICH IDE CONTROLLER?

TIP: If the Install Assistant stated that your tape drive will share the
data cable with another device (such as your CD-ROM), simply follow
the cable already attached to that device down to the circuit board in
order to locate the IDE controller that you need. If you find an extra
connector along that cable, in the next step, simply attach the tape
drive to that cable. Go to step 14 now.

Inside your computer, you may find up to five IDE controllers. Locate the
40-pin IDE controller that will be used by the tape drive as indicated by
the Install Assistant:

■ The first two IDE controllers (Primary and Secondary) are usually on

the mother board of the computer.

■ The third, fourth, or fifth IDE controller may be located on an

expansion card or sound board and may not be labeled.

IDE Controllers

See your computer’s
manual if you need

help finding the
IDE Controller.

Computer manufacturers use a wide variety of
labels for IDE controllers! Look on your

computer’s circuit boards for tiny printing such
as:

- PRI and SEC (for primary IDE and secondary IDE)

- IDE-0 and IDE-1

- IDE-1 and IDE-2

- HD and CD-ROM (most common devices to be attached)

- PCI-IDE and ISA-IDE
You will see a variety of connectors inside

your computer that look similar to the 40­pin connector but have more or less pins.
Find the connectors that are the correct
size to fit the cable that came in the
box with your drive.

10 Installation Guide

14. Refer to the printout from the Install Assistant (see page 3). Find the section
labeled DATA CABLE INSTRUCTIONS?

Follow the instructions on the next page for either “One Device” or “Two
Devices” as advised.

TIP: If you are sharing the IDE data cable between the HP tape drive and
another device, when the HP tape drive is configured as “Slave” the other
device must be configured as “Master.” Similarly, if the HP tape drive is
configured as “Master” the other device must be configured as “Slave.”

CAUTION: Make sure that you are attaching the cable correctly! You must
locate PIN-1 on each connector and attach the cable so that the edge with the
color stripe is aligned with PIN-1 . If the cable is attached incorrec t ly, your
computer may not boot up.

14 Installation Guide

If You Have Problems

Did you run the Install Assistant program first (see page 3)?

There are many factors that need to be taken into consideration when
installing an IDE device. By running the Install Assistant program, you
will know how to install successfully without needing to evaluate the
technical details such as IRQs and “single” versus “dual” FIFO.

Does your computer meet the minimum system requirements

See “Minimum System Requirements” on page 42.

Can’t find the IDE controller in your computer?

Check the manual that came with your computer, call the computer
manufacturer for assistance, or check their web site. The IDE controller
may be located on the mother board, a daughter board, sound board, etc.
It may be hard to find because it is behind another component inside
your computer, such as the power supply. Or your computer may not
have a connector attached for access to the IDE controller.

Now your computer won’t boot up!

■ Turn off and unplug your computer. Double-check each connector

along the data cable, look for and straighten any bent pins. The
connectors are inserted properly when all pins are covered up and the
colored stripe on the side of the data cable lines up with PIN-1 of each
connector.

■ Is the power cable attached correctly to each device?

■ If you are sharing the IDE data cable between the tape drive and

another device, did you change the data-cable (middle/end)
connector attached to the devic e that was already inside your
computer?

If yes, change the data-cable connector location back to the original
position. The other device may be jumpered to “cable-select” rather
than “Master” or “Slave.” If this is true, the location of the data-cable
connector (middle/end) is very important.

What is wrong with sharing an IDE data cable with my hard
drive?

The HP Colorado tape drive would run up to 25% slower since it has to
take turns with your hard drive during a backup.

Installing the Hardware 15

The device that is sharing the data cable with my HP Colorado
tape drive doesn’t show up in Explorer/File Manager or
doesn’t work any more.

■ Turn off and unplug your computer.

■ Make sure that the power cables are securely attached to both devices.

■ If you are sharing the IDE data cable between the HP tape drive and

another device, did you change the data-cable (middle/end)
connector attached to the devic e that was already inside your
computer?

If yes, change the data-cable connector location back to the original
position. The other device may be jumpered to “cable-select” rather
than “Master” or “Slave.” If this is true, the location of the data-cable
connector (middle/end) is very important.

Achieving optimal performance

Run SCANDISK.EXE and DEFRAG.EXE on your hard drive before using
your tape drive for the first time (see your DOS, Windows 3.x or
Windows 95 manual for more information). Then run them periodically
after that. These programs improve access times to the hard drive, which
will help improve the tape drive’s performance.

Checking for resource conflicts

In rare cases, your computer’s IDE controller may be having a resource
conflict where another device is trying to use the IDE controller’s I/O
base addre ss or interr upt request channel (IR Q ). To che ck for this type of
conflict:

■ In Windows 95, right-click on the My Computer icon, select

Properties, select the Device Manager tab, and double-click on Hard
Disk Controllers, if the list is not already expanded. A yellow

exclamation mark over the contr oller ’s icon confirms that the
controller has the same or conflicting settings as another device
installed on your system. Resolve this conflict by assigning a unique
IRQ and I/O base address the other device.

■ In Windows NT 4.0, if this type of conflict is present, you will see an

error message when you start up Windows NT 4.0. Follow the
directions in the error message box.

Check the read-me file on the software installation CD that
came with your tape drive or the HP web site (see page 54) for
any late-breaking troubleshooting information.

38 Installation Guide

In Windows 95 only, your tape drive can also read from but NOT write
to backup tapes made using Colorado Backup software and a Jumbo 250,
350, 700, 1400; Trakker 250, 350, 0r 700; T1000; or T3000 tape drive.

The following section explains how to insert your tapes. Please note the
differences between the HP Colorado cartridges and the standard mini­data cartridge when they are fully inserted.

CAUTION: Do not erase C4425 or C4429 tapes with bulk erasers. Magnetic
bulk erasing removes tracking refer ence points that ar e p laced on the tape at the
factory. Without these points, the tapes canno t be read by your tape drive. The
Erase utility in Colorado Backup is the safest and quickest method of removing
data from your tapes.

Using Tapes and Caring for Your Tape Drive 39

Inserting Tapes

1. Hold the tape with the metal base plate down and the tape-access
window facing the drive.

Tape-access window

Metal base plate

2. Align the tape with the tape drive’s opening and push the tape firmly
into the drive. Y ou will feel it lock into place.

After the cartridge is inserted, you will hear the sound of the tape being
wound back and forth. This sound indicates that the tape drive is finding
the beginning of the tape, determining the tape’s length and format, and
positioning the drive’s read/write head.

40 Installation Guide

Note the differences between the two cartridge types when they are fully
inserted as shown in the following illustrations:
.

HP Colorado cartridge or
Travan cartridge

The wider Travan
cartridge spans the entire
width of the drive’s
opening.

Standard mini cartridges

Approximately 1”
(2.5cm) of the cartridge
extends out of the drive
when fully inserted.

Mini-data cartridges are
narrower, leaving gaps on
each side of the tape
when inserted.

Removing Tapes

1. Wait until the light on the front of your tape drive quits blinking. (DO
NOT remove a tape during an operation. See the CAUTION note below.)

2. Grasp the tape cartridge firmly and pull it straight out from the drive.

CAUTION: Interfering with a tape during operations may cause data loss, and
may make the tape temporarily unrecordable. If, during a backup, you pull the
tape out of the drive, turn off the power to the computer, or firmly bump the
tape, you will not be able to read the data currently written to the tape. Also,
the tape will not be recordable until it is erased with Colorado Backup’s Erase
utility. (Never use a magnetic bulk eraser to erase your HP Colorado tapes. Bulk
erasers remove reference points on the tape that ar e vital. Removing these points
makes tapes un us able.)

Approximately 0.75”
(2cm) of the cartridge
extends out of the drive
when fully inserted.

Using Tapes and Caring for Your Tape Drive 41

Caring for Your Tape Drive

You do not need to perform any routine maintenance on the HP
Colorado tape drive.

CAUTION: Do NOT clean the read/write head of an HP Colorado tape drive.

CAUTION: Do NOT degauss or demagnetize the read/write head of an HP
Colorado tape drive. Damage to your tape drive will result.

Technical Information 45

What Affects Performance

How well your new HP tape drive functions, particularly how fast it
writes data to tape, depends on a number of factors. Some of these factors
are listed below .

Processor (CPU). The type and speed of your processor greatly affects the
speed at which your computer transfers data to and from the tape drive.

RAM. Your computer must have enough memory available to handle its
operating system, the backup software, and the data you are transferring
to and from tape. The system should not have to swap data to and from
the hard drive. Shut down other program s du ring a backup to ensure
optimal speed.

IDE Interface Type: To use the internal tape drive, your computer
requires an available connector on an IDE controller . Your computer may
have a “Single-FIFO” or “Dual-FIFO” IDE controller. If it is “Single-FIFO,”
the tape drive will run 12-25% slower than with a “Dual-FIFO” IDE
controller . Insert the Install Assistant diskette, run ASSIST.EXE /S to see
an evaluation of yo ur com puter system.

Hard Drive. If you attach the HP Colorado tape drive to the same IDE
controller as a hard drive, the tape drive will run slower because it must
take turns using the data cable with the hard drive.

For optimal performance, run SCANDISK.EXE and DEFRAG.EXE. See
“Achieving optimal performance” on page 15.

NOTE: Refer to your computer and mother board manuals or contact your
computer vendor if you have any questions about your computer’ s configuration
or capabilities.
