If... Then...
The image is valid 1. The flash EEPROM containing the current
firmware is erased.
2. The new image is programmed in. The
subsystem completes the update in about
2 minutes. Then:
• The tape drive resets itself.
• POST takes place.
• The drive automatically unloads the
tape cartridge containing the
firmware image, so you can remove
the cartridge. This shows a
successful firmware update.
1. The tape is NOT a valid
firmware update tape
2. The tape does not contain a
valid image
No update is attempted. The Write Protect and
Tape In Use indicators do not blink. The drive
resets and the tape stays loaded to signal the
firmware update was unsuccessful.
The tape contains a valid image,
but for some reason the
reprogramming flash memory
fails
The controller is probably unusable and needs
to be replaced. The tape drive resets itself and
reruns POST, which fails if flash memory does
not contain a valid image.
