Note: All cleaning cartridges wear out. If the drive does not support
expiration detection, the operator must keep track of cleaning
cycles manually and discard expired cartridges.
Note: Pressing the standby button while the drive is cleaning will not
abort the cleaning operation in the drive. However the cleaning
cartridge is left loaded in the drive. When the loader is brought out
of standby mode, the drive is reset as part of the initialization
process. The drive will re-discover the cleaning cartridge and run
another cleaning sequence. The cleaning cartridge is left in the
drive and must be unloaded by the operator by using the unload
command from the front panel menu.
Removing the Cleaning Cartridge
1. Determine whether a cartridge is loaded into the drive. If so, unload it.
2. Remove the magazine with the cleaning cartridge from the unit.
3. Remove the cleaning cartridge from the magazine.
4. Insert any desired data cartridge into the slot vacated by the cleaning
cartridge.
Note:
The cleaning slot must be disabled (set to 0) in the Setup menu
to make use of a data cartridge in this slot.
5. Insert the magazine into the unit.
Installing Firmware Upgrades
The loader firmware can be upgraded via the SCSI interface or the web
interface. The drive firmware can be upgraded via the SCSI interface.
Loader Firmware Upgrade via SCSI
A suitable utility program, FlashIt, and the latest firmware image file, can be
downloaded from the ADIC web site
http://www.adic.com/
. The program is
available for Windows XP, Windows 2000/2003, and Windows NT.
Note:
Read this entire procedure before you perform an upgrade.
1. Copy the FlashIt utility on your computer or server where the loader is
connected.
2. Make sure the computer has detected the loader. (Look for “Medium
changers” in the “Device Manager”: Right click "My Computer" – “Manage” –
“Device Manager”).
3. Most Windows operating systems may require that all backup services
started by the backup software application be stopped before the FlashIt
utility is started.
