Write Flash Memory Mode

Note

We strongly recommend that these diagnostic functions be used only by a qualified service technician. Some diagnostic functions assume the Scalar Library has been configured correctly and many of the normal built-in safety checks are turned off. Misusing these diagnostic functions without the normal safety checks could result in improper operation (or damage to media and/or the Scalar Library).

Write Flash Memory Mode

The Write Flash Memory Mode is used whenever you upgrade the Scalar Library firmware using the SCSI bus. When adic releases new firmware for the Scalar Library complete instructions on using Write Flash Memory Mode and performing the upgrade will be included with the firmware.

Serial Dnld Flash Mode

The Serial Dnld Flash Mode is used whenever you upgrade the Scalar Library firmware using the serial port on the rear panel. When adic releases new firmware for the Scalar Library complete instructions on using Serial Dnld Flash Mode and performing the upgrade will be included with the firmware.
