CAUTION: LTO-2 and LTO-3 tape drives require the most recent firmware to immediately
identify LTO-4 media. Without the most recent firmware, loading an LTO-4 cartridge into an earlier
generation drive can result in a long media identification and unload time. The drive might not
identify the media and then return a load error before the application software times out waiting
for the load. For proper operation, keep tape drives updated to the most recent firmware.
Ordering tape cartridges
Use Hewlett Packard Enterprise storage media to prolong the life of the tape drive. To learn more
about, or to purchase media, see:
