Adding tape drives

Installing a Compaq CPQS tape drive

To install a Compaq CPQS tape drive:

  1. Enter the target ID of the tape drive and the base I/O address, DMA channel, and interrupt vector values set on the controller card. Select the default parameters if you have not altered the settings on the card.

  2. Quit from the configuration menu to create the device files.

  3. The installation script prompts you to change the default bootstring if you want to alter the configuration settings used for the tape device at boot time. See the boot(HW) manual page for details.

  4. You can now relink the kernel and reboot to use the tape drive. You can defer relinking if you have other devices to configure.
