Using a Firmware Upgrade Tape

Note

The preferred method to update firmware is by using HP Library

& Tape Tools (see

Using HP Library & Tape Tools

on page 45).

A firmware upgrade tape can only be obtained by an HP service

representative.

This option performs a firmware code update on the autoloader using a

firmware upgrade tape.

Note

This code update operation assumes that the upgrade tape is

imported as part of this procedure. Do not import the firmware

update cartridge before starting this procedure.

To use this option, follow these steps:
1. From the Home Screen or main menu, press the [+] or [-] button until

Configuration appears on the top line of the LCD screen.

2. Press

the

[Enter] button to select.

3. Press

the

[+] or [-] button until Code Update appears on the LCD screen.

Press the [Enter] button to select.

4. If the carousel is full, the LCD screen displays No slot free for transfer. Press

the [Cancel] button repeatedly until the main menu or Home Screen is

displayed. Export a cartridge to make room for the firmware update

cartridge. See

Exporting Cartridges

on page 31 for instructions. Then

return to step 1 to update the firmware.

5. If the carousel is not full, the autoloader will select the first available slot

and prompt you to insert the code update cartridge.
