Unload/Eject Button Functions
Normal Unload/Eject
When you press and release the button within 6 seconds, the tape drive unloads and ejects
the data cartridge.
Emergency Reset
Enter Code Update Mode
If you have a firmware upgrade cartridge with a code level higher than the tape drive, the
drive recognizes this when it reads the cartridge and automatically loads the update.
However, you can also manually update the firmware, for example, if you want to revert to a
specific firmware version.
Note We recommend that you use HP Library & Tape Tools for all firmware and software
downloads.
Hold the Eject button for 27 to 30 seconds and release it when
all four LEDs are on solidly.
The tape drive performs a hard reset, behaving as if it has been
powered off and then on. A standard POST then occurs.
1. Hold down the Eject button for 9 to 12 seconds and
release it when the first two LEDs (Ready and Fault) blink.
2. When the two outer LEDs (Ready and Media) blink, the
tape drive is ready to accept a code update data
cartridge.
3. Insert the code update data cartridge within 15 seconds to
update the firmware inside the tape drive. If you do not
load a code update data cartridge within 15 seconds, the
tape drive returns to normal operating mode.
