AIT Drive Reference Guide

Troubleshooting the AIT Drive

Your tape device may need to be in a specific state to receive new firmware. For 
example, the media may need to be ejected prior to the firmware download. Check 
your tape device documentation for specific instructions.

After specifying a file or arriving to this dialog after using the firmware database, click 
on Download. Do not interrupt the download process or eliminate power to the device 
while the download process is running. Doing so may render your device unusable.

NOTE:  After firmware updates are made to devices, you should run a Force Rescan command. 
This properly updates the drive information, reflecting the firmware update.

Upgrading the Firmware by Cassette for all Computers

IMPORTANT:  To obtain a firmware upgrade cassette, contact a Compaq authorized service 
provider.

The Compaq AIT tape drive allows you to upgrade the firmware using a firmware 
upgrade cassette. Follow the steps below to complete the firmware upgrade. The 
process takes at least 3 minutes to complete.

CAUTION:  Do not disconnect power at any time during the upgrade. Disconnecting 
power during an upgrade may corrupt the firmware and make the drive unusable.

1. Exit all tape applications before proceeding with firmware upgrade.

2. Verify that the drive is not engaged in any SCSI activity by ensuring that the Busy 

and Tape LEDs are off and that the host is not accessing the drive. 

3. Insert the firmware upgrade cassette into the drive.

4. The upgrade process is automatic. When the process is complete, the cassette is 

ejected. Remove it and replace it in its box.
