Maintaining Your Library; Displaying Sacs (Advanced Vs Normal Service); Updating Firmware; Preferred Methods - ADIC Scalar 100 User Manual

Actions such as exercising the picker, the barcode scanner, and the library itself are considered
maintenance. These actions also include performing maintenance on drives and updating firmware.
Most of these actions are reserved for Support personnel.

Displaying SACs (Advanced vs Normal Service)

When administering the library, there are certain commands that are password protected and only available
for Support personnel. These commands are available by selecting ADVANCED from the Service menu. If
you choose NORMAL, the Service Action Codes (SACs) are displayed.
Path: Main menu > More > Service > Library > Firmware Update
To select NORMAL or ADVANCED service
1 From the Main menu, select More. Select Service and then select Library. Select Firmware Update.
2 Using Normal/Advanced, select NORMAL or ADVANCED service.
3 Select OK.
4 If you selected NORMAL, the SACs appear. If you selected ADVANCED, you are now ready to perform
advanced service on the library.

Updating Firmware

Periodically, you will need to update your library and drive firmware.

Preferred Methods

Although some of these procedures are documented here, typically the Operator Panel options to update
firmware are for use by Support personnel. To update your library, drive, and/or RMU firmware, use the
Remote Management Unit or the Library Management Tool (available from www.adic.com).
• The RMU can update library, drive (LTO only), and RMU firmware.
• The Library Management Tool can update library and drive (all types) firmware.
