nTier700 BlueScale Firmware

FIRMWARE PACKAGE INFORMATION

Firmware packages are groupings of program code that are used to update the BlueScale software and firmware for the nTier700.

Important The Windows Storage Server operating system requires you to install device drivers before application software can correctly communicate with tape drives, either in a

library or standalone, connected to the nTier700.

Do not use the Hardware Update Wizard in the Windows Device Manager to install the tape drive device drivers. The wizard does not install the drivers correctly on the nTier700. If you previously installed device drivers using the wizard, you must remove the drivers and then reinstall the drivers. Follow the instructions in Updating Tape Drive Device Drivers on page 24 to remove the drivers and then reinstall them.

Firmware Package Support

Spectra Logic recommends that you keep your nTier700 firmware up-to- date. Spectra Logic provides complete support for the two most recently shipped releases of firmware packages. If you are using a firmware package other than the most current one, Spectra Logic urges you to upgrade to the current release as soon as possible. If the firmware you are running is more than two releases behind, you may be required to upgrade firmware to resolve an issue or to verify that a problem still exists in current firmware.
