2.6 Upgrading the Firmware by Tape
The drive allows you to upgrade its firmware by inserting a firmware upgrade cartridge. The process takes
at least three minutes to complete.
Caution: Do not disconnect power at any time during the upgrade process, particularly when the front panel
lights are flashing, or it may result in the drive having corrupt firmware or no firmware at all. The
drive will then have to be returned to the factory.
Make sure that the drive is not engaged in any SCSI activity. Insert the firmware upgrade tape into the
drive. The upgrade process automatically takes place. During the actual erasure and reprogramming of
the firmware, it is critical that you do not power down the drive. The front panel LEDs flash rapidly
during this critical time. After about three minutes, when the upgrade is complete, the cartridge ejects.
Remove it, and put it in its box.
Note: If the firmware upgrade is incompatible with your hardware, no upgrade will take place. The tape will
be ejected after about one minute instead of the usual three minutes.
