data cartridge. If you do not insert a CUP/FUP data cartridge and the
one minute time window expires, both LEDs stop flashing, although
the middle (Drive Status) LED remains on (steadily illuminated). The
tape drive is now out of Firmware Upgrade mode and can be used in
a normal manner (once you insert a data cartridge). To put the tape

unloads it, and ejects it. SCSI status indicates that microcode has been
updated (06h, 3F, 01).
If the tape drive is mounted in a tape automation
Note:
library, the CUP/FUP data cartridge rewinds to BOT
and unbuckles in preparation for unloading, but does
