Chapter 5: Using Your Tape Drive

5.3.3Using a CUP/FUP Data Cartridge

Follow these steps to use a CUP/FUP data cartridge:

1.Verify that the tape drive is turned on (power is applied), and the middle (Drive Status) LED on the front panel of the tape drive is on, but not flashing.

2.Verify that the tape drive’s cartridge opening is empty. (In other words, if any other cartridge is in the tape drive, unload and eject it.)

3.Press and hold the Eject button for six seconds; after six seconds, the left (Drive Density) LED begins to flash.

4.Release the Eject button, then quickly press and release the Eject button again. At this point, the left (Drive Density) and middle (Drive Status) LEDs start flashing synchronously in a regular, rhythmic pattern. The tape drive is now in Firmware Upgrade mode.

You now have a “window” of one minute to insert the CUP/FUP data cartridge. If you do not insert a CUP/FUP data cartridge and the one minute time window expires, both LEDs stop flashing, although the middle (Drive Status) LED remains on (steadily illuminated). The tape drive is now out of Firmware Upgrade mode and can be used in a normal manner (once you insert a data cartridge). To put the tape drive back in Firmware Upgrade mode, repeat the previous steps 2, 3, and 4.

5.Insert the CUP/FUP data cartridge.

6.After you insert the CUP/FUP data cartridge, the left (Drive Density) and middle (Drive Status) LEDs change their pattern and start flashing in an alternating pattern. The tape drive is now performing the firmware upgrade.

NOTE: The firmware upgrade fails the microcode update process if the firmware personalities do not match; the history log records this information, as well as the reason for the failure.

7.Wait several minutes for the update process to complete. The left (Drive Density) and middle (Drive Status) LEDs flash the entire time that memory is being updated.

8.When the update is complete, the tape drive resets itself and goes through POST. The tape drive rewinds the CUP/FUP data cartridge, unloads it, and ejects it. SCSI status indicates that microcode has been updated (06h, 3F, 01).
