Chapter 5. Operating the Library

4. Touch OK to begin the firmware upgrade. Library control reverts to the boot

code and the FPROMs are updated with the new code.

After a successful code dump, the library reboots with the new code (this takes

approximately two minutes).

After the library comes ready, the library moves the code tape from the drive to

the door slot.

Note: If power is lost during the upgrade, the process should restart

when the library power is restored. If power is cycled and the

upgrade operation does not restart, turn off the library and set the

configuration switch to 7 (see Setting the Library Configuration

Switch on page 38 for details of switch settings), then turn the

library on again.

Forcing a Firmware Reload

Use this procedure if the library firmware becomes corrupted and the normal code-

loading procedure cannot be used. This can happen if power is lost or if the library is

reset while upgrading the firmware.

To force the library to load new shell code from a code tape:

1. Move the code tape from the door to Drive 1 (if necessary, see Moving Tapes on

page 59 for details).

Note: If the FPROM code is corrupted, the move command may not

respond; you will need to load the tape into Drive 1 manually.

Contact Spectra Logic Technical Support for assistance if you are

unsure about how to do this.

2. Note the current setting of the library configuration switch, then set the switch

to position 7. See Setting the Library Configuration Switch on page 38.

3. Power cycle the library. The library automatically reloads the shell code.

4. Turn the library off and reset the configuration switch to the previous setting.

5. Power cycle the library.

6. After the library becomes ready, move the library code tape from Drive 1 to the

library door and remove the tape.
