This chapter describes procedures for the tape drive that comes with your HP 3000 Series 9X8LX. A DDS tape drive stores data on cassette tapes in a format called digital data storage (DDS). To avoid loss of data and damage to your DDS drive, use only properly certified DDS cassette tapes, not DAT tapes, which are only tested for audio use. Hewlett-Packard makes no warranty for tapes other than those sold specifically for this tape drive and recommends that you use Hewlett-Packard DDS cassettes with your DDS-format drive.
The digital data storage (DDS) tape drive is mounted in the same cabinet with the computer. The tape drive is located just below the computer switches and indicators. The tape drive that comes with your computer system is the one shown in Title not available.
