Microcode Update...
Allows the CE to replace the microcode in the device from a field microcode replacement (FMR) tape
(cartridge) and to update the FMR tape with the microcode. A menu prompts the CE to load the FMR
tape into the device. When the 3592 drive reads the FMR tape, it checks the EC level on the tape
cartridge. If the tape does not contain the EC level of the drive, it automatically writes the microcode
to the FMR tape. It then displays the EC level with the "CE Select Level menu" on page 116.
Make FMR Tape...
Allows the CE to create a field microcode replacement (FMR) tape (cartridge) from a scratch tape. The
FMR tape contains the current level of microcode that is active in the device. A menu prompts the CE
to load a scratch tape in the device. After the tape is written, the final status menu indicates whether
the operation was successful.
Note: You cannot use this FMR tape to run diagnostic tests until you unmake the FMR tape.
Unmake FMR Tape...
Allows the CE to convert an FMR tape (cartridge) to a scratch tape. A menu prompts the CE to load an
FMR tape in the device. After the tape changes the header information, the final status menu indicates
whether the operation was successful.
Attention: If the service panel shows the write-protected icon. The tape cartridge is either
physically write-protected or the customer used a command to logically write-protect the tape.
