Determining and Updating Firmware
Use the Support: Firmware page to see the current version of the device and drive
firmware, and upload new firmware. The firmware files must have a .frm file extension.
After the firmware is updated, the device or tape drive with updated firmware is reset.
Rebooting the Device
Use the Support: Reboot page to do a soft reset of the device, which will run the Power
On Self Test (POST) and scan for a new inventory. The RMI web page will refresh itself
after a short time delay. This time should be sufficient to reload the page. However,
during a reboot, the connection to the device may be lost. If the connection is lost, you
will have to reload the page manually.
Caution. Do not interrupt the device while a firmware update is in progress. Updating the tape
drive firmware can take several minutes because the firmware is transferred through a serial
connection.
