Symptom:

  1. Click Settings, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Computer Management, Device Manager.
  2. Locate the IBM tape drives that are connected to the server from Enterprise Tape Library 3494.
  3. If the tape drives appear under Other Drives, then you must download and install the latest device drivers for the tape drives from the IBM website.
