Appendix C: Updating the Firmware
Quantum DLT 4000 Tape Drive
C-3
Make sure you have a DLTtape that bears the firmware image and personality of
the required revision level copied to it.
1.
Put the tape drive into the firmware update mode. To do this:
a)
Remove any cartridge in the target tape drive and close the handle
(down position).
b)
Press the UNLOAD button on the drive front panel and hold the button
until the WRITE PROTECT indicator begins blinking (approximately six
seconds). This indicates that the tape drive has recognized your request
for firmware update mode and is waiting for the sequence to complete.
NOTE
If the WRITE PROTECT indicator does not blink, check that:
1. The Power-On Self Test passed.
2. The drive is unloaded.
3. The drive handle is in its down position.
c)
Release 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 PROTECT 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 PROTECT 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.
