Troubleshooting the AIT Drive CAUTION: Firmware dictates the behavior of your device. Be sure to select the latest version. Update Tab The Update tab is available by clicking the Summary link in the upper left hand corner of the screen. It functions much like the Firmware Retrieval utility. When you select the tab the Update screen appears. You can select individual or multiple files for download. Make your selections and click the Retrieve Selections button. You can also download the TSMC application from this screen. Firmware Tab The Firmware tab is accessible for each tape automation device. There are two methods to choose from: • Automatic • Manual Click Auto if you want to use Compaq-recommended firmware updates (from the Compaq FTP site). Click Manual if you have a specific firmware file that you want to use. NOTE: Manual firmware files MUST be located in the Downloads folder of the parent TSMC directory. Typically, this is located at /Program Files/Compaq/TSMC Server/Downloads. After you select a file, the Download options screen appears. Before proceeding, be sure to read the following cautions. CAUTION: Do not interrupt the download process or eliminate power to the device while the download process is running. Doing so may render your device unusable. CAUTION: ESL9000 and TL895 libraries use serial port downloads. Make sure a serial cable is attached to the device and your host computer. If a download fails to succeed, TSMC causes a "forced re-download." Follow the directions on your screen to complete the procedure. Remember that TSMC determines download parameters for you when you select a firmware file. If you must change download parameters, consult with Compaq support personnel. AIT Drive Reference Guide 5-9
