HP vs80 manual Using a Firmware Upgrade Tape

Using a Firmware Upgrade Tape

Note	The preferred method to update firmware is by using HP Library
	& Tape Tools (see Using HP Library & Tape Tools on page 45).
	A firmware upgrade tape can only be obtained by an HP service
	representative.

This option performs a firmware code update on the autoloader using a firmware upgrade tape.

Note	This code update operation assumes that the upgrade tape is
	imported as part of this procedure. Do not import the firmware
	update cartridge before starting this procedure.

To use this option, follow these steps:

1.From the Home Screen or main menu, press the [+] or [-] button until Configuration appears on the top line of the LCD screen.

2.Press the [Enter] button to select.

3.Press the [+] or [-] button until Code Update appears on the LCD screen. Press the [Enter] button to select.

4.If the carousel is full, the LCD screen displays No slot free for transfer. Press the [Cancel] button repeatedly until the main menu or Home Screen is displayed. Export a cartridge to make room for the firmware update cartridge. See Exporting Cartridges on page 31 for instructions. Then return to step 1 to update the firmware.

5.If the carousel is not full, the autoloader will select the first available slot and prompt you to insert the code update cartridge.

6.Insert the code update cartridge into the mailslot.
