Updating and Autoleveling Tape Drive Firmware

Quantum Scalar i40 and Scalar i80 User’s Guide

Uploading Tape Drive 

Firmware Used in 

Autoleveling

Tape drive firmware is included with the library firmware bundle and is 

automatically autoleveled on your tape drives when you install library 

firmware (see 

About Tape Drive Firmware Autoleveling

 on page 164). In 

some cases, a tape drive firmware upgrade or patch may be available 

outside of the normal library firmware release cycle. In this case, the 

tape drive firmware will be available as a separate download from the 

Quantum Web site at: 

http://www.quantum.com/ServiceandSupport/

SoftwareandDocumentationDownloads/SI40/Index.aspx

. 

Caution:

Only install tape drive firmware image files that have been 

tested and qualified by Quantum. 

If you want to install tape drive firmware from an earlier version that is 

no longer available on the Quantum Web site, contact Quantum 

Support.
It is not necessary to delete an old version of firmware before uploading 

a new version. The new version overwrites the old version.

Note:

Uploading tape drive firmware for autoleveling only uploads 

the firmware to the library in preparation for autoleveling. It 

does not initiate autoleveling or install firmware on the tape 

drive. To initiate autoleveling, see 

Initiating Tape Drive Firmware 

Autoleveling

 on page 169.

You can only upload tape drive firmware on the Web client.

Web Client

1

Tape drive firmware (if released separately) will be available at: 

http://www.quantum.com/ServiceandSupport/

SoftwareandDocumentationDownloads/SI40/Index.aspx

. Navigate 

to the appropriate firmware version and download the file to a 

known location on your computer. 

2

Verify with the release notes or Quantum Support that you are 

updating the library with the correct version of firmware. For 

technical support contact information, see
