Note: During the update no host drive action is possible. The drive update takes approximately 5 minutes. The system status panel (in the right of the browser window) will change from "update" to "ready". If incompatible firmware is transferred to the library or drive the Update function will terminate with a message indicating incompatible firmware. If the library has a BCR (Barcode Reader) that requires 9.00 or greater firmware, the Update function will terminate with a message indicating the library requires firmware 9.00 or higher. To ensure that the drive is being updated with the correct firmware refer to the drive identification information provided in the Upgrade Library Firmware banner. Ensure the drive firmware is for the correct drive type (e.g. Full Height, Half Height), correct protocol (e.g. SCSI, SAS, Fibre Channel) and correct version (V2).
