Preparation

1.

Identify the drives to be upgraded in your Spectra 20K/64K library.

2.

Make sure you have an AIT-4 drive for every drive you are replacing, and a 
library firmware upgrade diskette.

3.

If you are going to return the drives to Spectra Logic (for example, for trade-ins 
or pre-purchase), make sure to reserve the drive packaging for later use.

4.

Download from the Sony Web site and install on the library’s host system a 
driver for the host’s operating system. 

5.

Make sure all backup procedures are halted, and that you have fifteen minutes 
available per drive to be upgraded, so that you can configure, install, and test.
