The image is valid 1. The Flash EEPROM containing the
current firmware is erased.
2. The new image is programmed in. The
subsystem completes the update in
about 2 minutes. Then:
•=The tape drive resets itself.
•=POST takes place.
•=The drive automatically unloads the
tape cartridge containing the
firmware image so you can remove
the cartridge.
This shows a successful firmware update.
The tape is NOT a valid firmware
update tape
No update is attempted. Write Protect and
Tape In Use do not blink.
The tape contains a valid image, but
for some reason reprogramming of
Flash memory fails
The controller is probably unusable and
needs to be replaced. The tape drive resets
itself and reruns POST, which fails if the
Flash memory does not contain a valid
image.
_________________________ Caution __________________________
Never turn off power if you think the firmware is being updated. Doing
so can damage the controller.
