Upgrading the Firmware

Compaq occasionally releases upgraded firmware to correct specific problems
so you should make sure that your drive’s firmware is the latest revision. To
identify the revision level of your current firmware, follow this procedure:

1. Launch Compaq’s Inspect utility from one of these sources:

The main menu of Compaq’s System Configuration utility

Compaq’s Diagnostics program

2. Review the display. For example:

System Storage:

Wide SCSI Controller in slot 4, IRQ11

Embedded Wide SCSI Controller, IRQ10

Device .................................................. Internal ProLiant - REV JM14

Device .................................................. 4/8 GB SLR SCSI Tape

SCSI ID ................................................. 6

Revision ................................................ 0912FY/0912

3. Record the revision level of the drive’s firmware.

To determine if your firmware is the latest revision, check one of these
sources:
