of the power supply bay.
2. Fully insert the power supply into the library.

4. Connect the power cord to the power supply.

Upgrading Firmware

This section details the processes for upgrading library and drive firmware. Some
of the processes used for upgrading library firmware are different from those used
to upgrade drive firmware.
Firmware can be downloaded by:
v Using the remote management card (library only)
v Using a firmware utility file
v Using IBM's upgrade express CD
Checking the Firmware revision
To check your current firmware revisions before downloading new firmware, do
the following:
Note: If the library is in a partial availability state (solid amber LED) due to a
firmware mismatch, download new firmware.
1. Ensure the library is powered on.
2. Use the Main-->Information-->Firmware Revisions menus on the front panel.
To check your current firmware revisions from the remote management card, do
the following:
1. Enter the designated IP address into the Web browser to launch the Web-based
library administrator pages.
2. Select the Report tab.
3. Scroll down to the Firmware Revisions section of the page to view your library
and drive firmware revisions.
Note: Ensure that your backup software does not "SCSI reserve" the library, as
this can prevent a firmware download.
Upgrading library firmware
The firmware for all library components, except the drives, can be downloaded
from the remote management card (see "Setting the SCSI IDs" on page 22). After
the library is configured for network access, enter the IP address on a network
computer to launch the Web-based library administrator pages. These pages
contain instructions and help screens for upgrading firmware.
Using firmware utility
To use the firmware utility, do the following:
1. Go to http://www.pc.ibm.com/support.
2. Select Options.
3. Select Tape Backup
4. Select the Tape Library 3600.
5. Download the file and follow the instructions in the README file.
