Manager and Command View TL user guide for detailed procedures on updating tape drive
firmware.
5. Use the Command View TL user interface to reboot the interface controller. See the HP StorageWorks
Interface Manager and Command View TL user guide for detailed procedures.

solid green (see “ HP StorageWorks e2400-FC 2Gb interface controller ” on page 57 or
