Procedure 2. Configure the Windows Device Server to Use the Bexsptape Device Driver
To configure the device server for Bexsptape:
In the Windows Device Manager, locate the tape device to associate with the Bexsptape driver. Note the following:
If the tape device already has a driver associated with it, uninstall the driver. If a selection displays to permanently delete the driver, it is recommended to select it. This ensures that the driver is not available for the device in the future, eliminating possible conflict with Bexsptape.
Tape devices that do not have a driver associated with it are in the Other Devices container of the display.
Right-click the appropriate tape device, and then select Update Driver Software from the pop-up menu. The first page of a wizard appears.
You are asked how you want to search for driver software. Select Browse my computer for driver software.
On the next wizard page, select Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer. Click Next.
From the display list, select your device type, Tape drives. Click Next.
On the next page, enter the location of the Bexsptape device driver. Select Have Disk.
Browse to <product-directory>/bin/drivers/<Osver>, where <Osver> is specific to the version of Windows the device is installed on.
From the display list, select bexsptape. Click Open.
Select the tape drive manufacturer and model in the Model list. Click Next.
A success window appears, confirming that the driver software is updated. Click Close.
Confirm that the tape drive appears in the Tape drives container in the Windows Device Manager display.
