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 be in the HP L&TT format with the .frm file extension.
You can find firmware files on the HP Support website:
www.hp.com/support . After the firmware
is updated, the device or tape drive with updated firmware is reset.
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.
Figure 53 Support: Firmware page
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.
