Using Degaussed AIT-3 Tapes in Gator Libraries 1. Manually load the Degauss firmware tape—this will take a couple of minutes. Once the firmware upload is finished, the tape will eject itself. Remove the firmware tape from the library. Note: The inquiry string will not show the new firmware revision until drive is power cycled or a configuration save is issued.

Additional notes: • Note: Tapes in a drive without the Degauss Firmware will report error: CRC CHECK FAILED. • Drives only retain DIP switch settings until they are power cycled. Any drive that is re-initialized will no longer be capable of writing to Degaussed media and will need the DIP switches reset.
