1.Hold down the eject button.
Keeping the eject button pressed down,
power on your tape drive. This puts the
device into HP One-Button Disaster
Recovery mode when you power on. (If
there is a cartridge in the tape drive,
you can leave it there.)
Release the button as soon as the
amber and green LEDs flash
alternately.
2.Switch on your computer system.
3.If there is no cartridge in the tape drive,
immediately insert the latest one. This

Recovery process. Both LEDs will flash
alternately while the tape drive restores
your operating system to a state where
it can run a normal data restore.
4.Follow the on-screen instructions to set
up the operating system. Normally, you
can accept the default response to all
the prompts, for example just press
<Return>.
Once the operating system has been
set up and rebooted, the tape drive's
LED changes to constant green, and
you can remove the cartridge if you
wish.

your restore application.
If the restore fails for any reason, refer to our Support web site.
