Loading a code tape
The SCSI bridge electronics firmware may be upgraded by reading a Code Load Tape. You
will be prompted to insert the tape. DO NOT disturb the unit's power until the end of the
procedure. The SCSI bridge electronics relocate some internal firmware, switches to the
Performance Display format, reads 64k and verifies the tape, rewinds the tape, re-reads the
64k, programs the firmware and, finally, unloads the tape when complete. You will NOT be
returned to the menu system because this utility alters the RAM/ROM in a non-recoverable
manner. A cold reset executes.
Note:
For this procedure it is recommended that the user first take the tape subsystem off-line
and then disconnect the SCSI cable from the rear connector of the tape subsystem.
