3. Plug the tape-drive power cord into the drive.

NOTE: Turn the power off to your drive by disconnecting the power cord from

the wall outlet. There is no power switch on the tape drive.

The power supply is designed to automatically switch into low-energy

mode when the drive is not in use. The HP Colorado 5GB may be safely

left plugged in at all times.

4. Locate the parallel port connector on your computer (your printer might

already be attached to the parallel port).

If you have a printer attached to your computer, go to the next step.

If you do not have a printer attached, proceed to step 6.

printer.

Parallel ports have

receptacles for 25 pins.

connector shown below.

The data cable that came with your drive attaches to the computer’s

parallel port and the tape drive’s remaining 25-pin connector.

6. Attach the tape-drive data cable to your computer’s parallel port and

hand tighten the connector’s retaining screws.

If You Have Problems...

After connecting your tape drive and turning on your computer, the

computer should start (boot) as it normally does. If it does not, check the

following items:

■Is the computer power cord plugged in?

■Is each device plugged in and turned on?

■Are all cables properly plugged into the back of your computer?

■If you verify all of these and still have problems, try turning off your

computer. Wait at least 20 seconds before turning it back on.

■If you have a printer connected to the HP Colorado 5GB tape drive,

turn off the computer’s power. Disconnect the tape drive and the

printer. Reconnect only your tape drive to the parallel port, then turn

the computer on and start Colorado Backup. If tape drive works, it is

likely you have a conflict with the printer.

Using the Tape Drive on Other Computers

The software installation CD that came with your tape drive allows you

to install Colorado Backup for DOS, Windows 3.x, and Windows 95. You

can disconnect the tape drive and move it to another computer as long as

the other computer meets the installation requirements described in the

section “Minimum System Requirements” on page 33.

The first time you connect the tape drive to another computer, you must

also install any necessary software.

To move the tape drive to another computer:

1. Turn OFF your computer.

2. Unplug the tape drive from the outlet or power strip. (There is no power

switch on the tape drive.)

3. Disconnect the data cable from the back of your computer.

8Installation Guide

4. Disconnect the printer cable, if any, from the back of your tape drive.

You can now connect the tape drive to another computer by following

the instructions given previously in this manual. See “Connecting the

Hardware” on page 2.

NOTE: Remember to turn the computer OFF before attaching the tape drive.

The first time you attach the drive to a computer, see “Install Colorado

Backup for Your Operating System” on page 10.

Each additional time, after attaching the tape drive to that computer:

■turn ON the computer

■start Colorado Backup

Installing the Software

Check Your Parallel Ports

Before installing the software, you should check your computer’s parallel

port settings to ensure the maximum performance from your tape drive.

There are currently four types of parallel ports on the market: (listed from

the slowest data transfer rate to the fastest) unidirectional, bidirectional,

Enhanced Parallel Port (EPP), and Extended Capabilities Port (ECP).

New computers are likely to have at least an Enhanced Parallel Port (EPP),

which allows the maximum performance from your tape drive. Consult

your computer’s documentation to learn if you have an EPP or ECP port.

If you have one, verify that it is configured to the fastest possible setting.

Interchangeability of Tapes

The Colorado Backup software for DOS, Windows 3.1, Windows 95, and

the Windows NT applet have the following interchangeability:

CAUTION: If you create backups under more than one operating system,

use a separate set of tapes for each operating system. Label each tape

appropriately.

10 Installation Guide

Install Colorado Backup for Your Operating System

Your parallel-port tape drive can easily be shared among computers using

different operating systems. Changing the drive between computers is as

easy as attaching it to the parallel port and starting Colorado Backup. The

Colorado Backup software installation CD includes the files for installing

the backup software for DOS, Windows, and Windows 95. Your tape

drive can also be configured to work with Windows NT 4.0. Select the

environment you work in and turn to the appropriate section for

installation instructions:

■DOS—page 10

■Windows—page 15

■Windows 95—page 21

■Windows NT 4.0—page 25

NOTE: If your computer has a power-management feature that shuts off your

computer after a specified period of time since the last keyboard input, you may

experience problems with certain operations that exceed the time limit. Turn off

the power-management feature when performing a long running operation such

as a total or full-system backup. Check your computer’s manuals to find out

how to turn off or change the time limit of the power-management feature.

Installing Colorado Backup for DOS

NOTE: Do not install Colorado Backup for DOS for use in Windows 95. This

application does not support Windows 95 conventions such as long filenames

and backups of the registry. See “Installing Colorado Backup for Windows 95”

on page 21.

1. Attach the tape drive to your parallel port as described in “Connecting

the Hardware” on page 2. The drive must be attached to install and

configure the software.

2. Insert the software installation CD into your CD-ROM drive. If your

computer does not have a CD-ROM, see page 33.

3. At the DOS prompt, type D:\SETUP and press ENTER (where D: is your

CD-ROM’s drive letter).
