Upgrading firmware (Support > Autoloader FW Upgrade, Support > Drive FW Upgrade)
The Autoloader allows two types of firmware to be upgraded — one for the tape drive and the other
for the Autoloader itself. You can upgrade both types of firmware from a USB flash drive. You can
also upgrade the tape drive firmware from a firmware upgrade tape. Access to this feature requires
the administrator password.
To upgrade Autoloader firmware from a USB flash drive:
1. Download current Autoloader firmware using HP Library & Tape Tools or from the HP support
website: http://www.hp.com/support/storage. Copy the firmware onto the USB flash drive.
TIP:
The display will only show the first 16 characters of the file name. If the USB drive has multiple
firmware files, ensure that you can distinguish the files from the first 16 characters in their file
names.
2. Insert the USB flash drive into the USB port on the back of the device.
3. From the Home screen, press Previous or Next until the screen displays Support. Press Enter to
select.
4. Press Previous or Next until the screen displays Autoloader FW upgrade. Press Enter to select.
5. Enter the administrator password if prompted.
6. Press Previous or Next until the screen displays the filename of the Autoloader firmware file on
the USB drive. Press Enter to select the firmware file.
7. If the upgrade failed, press Enter to display the error code and message describing the cause of
the failure.
8. Remove the USB flash drive from the USB port.
