HP 300 Series - Step 2: Inserting the Release 7.0 HP-UX Install Tape

Step 2: Inserting the Release 7.0 HP-UX Install Tape
1. Turn ON the tape drive that will contain the 7.0 HP-UX install tape.
• If the tape drive is built into the disk drive, turning on the disk drive
turns on both the tape and disk drives.
• The tape drive is called the source device later when you see the
installation menus.
2. Turn ON the disk drive you plan to use as the startup (boot) disk for
HP-UX.
• This drive is called the destination device later when you see the
installation menus.
• Eventually, you can mount (connect) additional disk drives that HP- UX
can use, but they are not important now because installation deals with
only one disk.
3. Wait until the drive warms up (no red or orange lights on; the green light is
steady).
4. Ensure that the protect switch on the HP-UX cartridge tape points to SAFE
or PROTECT. Then insert the HP-UX cartridge tape in the tape drive, and
wait until the busy light stays OFF (about 2 to 5 minutes).
Go on to Step 3.
