If the WRITE PROTECTED indicator does not blink, check that:
1. POST passed
2. The drive is unloaded.
3. The drive handle is in its down position.
C. elease the UNLOAD button, then press the UNLOAD button again within
four (4) seconds. The second press should take less than one (1) second.
D. The TAPE IN USE and the WRITE PROTECTED indicators will blink.
This indicates that the tape drive recognizes that the firmware update mode
has been selected.
If you are unsuccessful in selecting the firmware update mode (if, for
example, pressing the UNLOAD button the second time requires longer
than one [1] second), the WRITE PROTECTED indicator will stop
blinking within several seconds. Try the procedure again. If the drive and
controller PCBA are not communicating properly, you cannot select the
firmware update function.
Once the firmware update mode has been successfully selected, insert the cartridge
with updated firmware image into the drive. The drive then
• Automatically reads the cartridge. The tape will move for a few minutes
performing calibration and directory processing before any data is read.
• Examines the data
• Verifies that the data is a valid firmware image for the tape drive.
At this point, the firmware update mode is automatically cleared. One of the
following conditions will occur:
• If the firmware image is valid and the drive code is up-to-date, the drive
code does not go through an update.
• If the firmware image is valid and the drive code is NOT up-to-date, the
code in the drive is updated. This will take 2 - 3 minutes
While the drive code is being updated, the WRITE PROTECTED and
TAPE IN USE indicators flash alternately.
When the drive code update is complete, the drive resets, and runs its
Power-On Self Test (POST). The process waits until the tape is reloaded at
the beginning of tape (BOT).
