area, select one or more check boxes that correspond to drives that
you want to update with the same drive firmware image. Use the
following rules to select drives:

• If you select more than one drive, make sure that they are all of
the same drive type.
• Click Select All to select all drives. All drives must be of the
same drive type.
Note: You can only perform firmware update for drives of the
same product, such as HP or IBM, and type, for example
LTO-4 or LTO-5.

drive firmware image you want to use to update the drives you
selected.
Caution: The drop-down list includes all drive firmware images
that are currently stored on the library, regardless of
drive type. Be careful to select a drive firmware image
that is compatible with the type of drive that you want
to update. See the library's
compatibility information or contact Quantum
technical support.
