To upgrade the library firmware:
1.Obtain new firmware for the library. You can download new firmware from Plasmon’s web site (www.plasmon.com), or you can contact Plasmon Technical Support.
2.Connect the library to the console interface by following the steps in the Connecting to the Console Interface section of this chapter.
3.Copy the current firmware as a precautionary measure. You can make a copy of the current firmware with the READ BUFFER command. To do this, use a software application that can issue SCSI commands. For more information about the SCSI commands, refer to Plasmon V15 SCSI Reference.
4.From the console’s Program Flash screen (shown below), transfer the firmware file by typing: loadimage. Press [ENTER].
The library erases the current firmware and then displays the following prompt: Begin XMODEM download of flash code.
5.Use your terminal emulation program to specify the source location (path and filename) of the new firmware.
6.Select or type in the file name you want and then press [ENTER].
The system initiates the firmware upgrade and displays its progress on the screen. When the upgrade is successfully completed, the library automatically resets.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to perform library operations or to power down the library until after the library automatically resets.
