Accessing Firmware from a Remote Server

If you do not have the specific firmware file you need to update a specific component, you will need to access the file you need from the Spectra Logic server.

To do this:

1.Select Use Remote Server in the File Locations section.

2.Select Spectra Logic from the Firmware Servers list.

3.Select Select Location. This will update the Available Updates list from the Remote Server.

4.Go to Step 5 on page 124, to complete the update procedure.

Accessing Firmware from an Alternate Location

Some sites might not be able to access Spectra Logic’s Web site because of firewalls or proxy server configuration. In these instances, the updates can be placed on a local Web server.

To do this:

1.Place the files on an intranet or set up a machine as a Web server. (Windows NT includes a Web server, Microsoft allows a free download for Windows, most Unix and Linux operating systems have HTTPD or can use a free download such as Apache.)

2.Create a /gator/download directory on the server and copy the firmware to that location. If another machine can see the Spectra Logic site, copy the files from www.spectralogic.com/gator/ download.

3.Test your new Web server by pointing a browser to http//<your server IP>/gator/download. You should see a directory of files.

4.Tap Modify Server List.

5.The server list appears. Tap Modify Server List.

6.Enter the IP address of the new server and a name for the new server.

7.Tap Add Server.

8.Select Use Remote Server in the File Locations section.
