Upgrading Drive Firmware

To upgrade the drive firmware, you need an AIT code tape containing the latest drive

firmware; you can obtain this from Spectra Logic.

Before you update firmware, ensure that:

• The drive to be updated is empty.

• The door is empty.

• No system processes are running which may interrupt the change. To ensure this,

shut down the backup software.

• The carousel has at least one empty slot.

• The Emulate 1/2, Emulate 3/4, and SCSI Bus Mode settings have been recorded

from the third Configuration screen. To reach the third Configuration screen from

the main menu, choose Config > More > More.

Upgrading Drive Firmware

1. From the main screen, press the drive button for the drive you wish to update.

2. Press Upgrade, and then follow the instructions on the screen. When the drive

firmware has been updated, the code tape is returned to the door.

3. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 for each drive that needs upgrading.

Confirming Correct Firmware

1. On the main screen, press the drive button for the drive you just upgraded.

2. Press Reset. The drive resets (taking about 30 seconds), and the version number

of the new drive code is displayed.

3. Confirm that the Rev field shows the updated firmware version.

If any of the drives do not show the latest code:

• Reset that drive again, or

• Follow the steps to upgrade the drive once more, then verify the Rev setting.

4. Once each drive has been reset, the drives may report a Drive Fault. If so, reset

the drive emulation for each drive you have upgraded.
