The 110/220GB SDLT tape drive is made for IBM by Quantum Corp. This document contains instructions
for installing the Windows 2000 device driver. This driver is for 32-bit Intel Platforms only.
NOTE: The driver is digitally signed by Microsoft.
MAKING AN INSTALLATION DISKETTE:
After running the executable file, there will be 3 files extracted
to the directory. These are:
Qntmdlt.inf
QntmDLT.sys
qntmdlt.cat
ReadMe.txt (this file)
To make the Installation Diskette, copy the following 2 files to
a formatted 3 1/2 inch floppy disk.
Qntmdlt.inf
QtmmDLT.sys
INSTALLING THE DRIVER:
1. Shutdown Windows if it is running and power down the system.
2. Connect the DLT tape drive to the system. Ensure that the
SCSI bus is terminated correctly and that there are no target
ID conflicts. Power on the tape drive.
3. Startup the system and log into Windows.
4. Right-click on the "My Computer" Icon and select "Manage".
This will bring up the Computer Management applet.
5. In Computer Management, double-click "Device Manager".
A list of device subsystems will be displayed in the right view.
6. The target tape drive may be found in either the "Tape drives"
or "Other devices" section. Expand the section where the
target drive is located. Right-click the target drive and
select "Properties".
NOTE: Troubleshooting the SCSI bus that the target tape drive
is attached to will be necessary if Windows 2000 does not
see the drive in the "Tape drives" or "Other devices" sections.
Do not continue installation until this is resolved.

that of the target tape drive that you are installing.

10. Select "Display a list of the know drivers for this device so
that I can choose a specific driver" radio button.
11. Select "Next".

view is displayed.

or "Tape drives". Then select "Have Disk..." on the next
view.
