HP StoreEver MSL Tape Libraries - Manual (Page 30)

Verify that each Library has the latest released version of firmware. Update to the latest firmware if
necessary.
To find the version of firmware installed on the Library, see the RMI Support: Firmware screen.
From the MSL4048 or MSL8096 operator control panel (OCP), navigate to the Info > Identity > Library
screen. The Library Controller FW Revision field shows the Library firmware revision.
From the MSL2024 OCP:
1. From the Home screen, press Next until the display shows Status/Information . Press Enter.
2. Press Next until the display shows Library Information . Press Enter.
3. Press Next until the display shows the Firmware Rev .
To download Library firmware that supports the Library Extender from the HP website:
1. Browse to http://www.hp.com/support/msl_extender .
2. Select and download the newest firmware version for your Library without
_LX_
in the filename.
NOTE:
The first time you install the Extender you must update the firmware in each Library individually. For
future firmware updates, when extended mode is enabled you can update the firmware for both
Libraries at the same time with the Extender firmware package. Updating with the firmware package
is not only faster and easier, but ensures that the Libraries have compatible firmware versions. When
updating firmware for the extended library, select the file with
_LX_ in the filename.
Enabling extended mode
Enable Extended Mode from the RMI Configuration > System screen or OCP Configuration > Library
menu in both Libraries before installing the Library Extender.
NOTE:
Extended mode will be enabled but not active until the Library is powered off and then powered on.
Removing the cartridges from the Libraries
Before installing the Extender, the Libraries must be installed in the rack rails supplied with the Libraries
in adjacent rack locations, one Library directly above the other.
Skip this section if you do not need to move a Library.
WARNING!
When the Library is moved, any cartridges in the Library can become dislodged from the magazines
and damage the cartridges and Library robotics. To avoid damaging the Library, remove the cartridges
before moving the Library.
