Updating Firmware Using the Remote Management Unit

1 Turn on the tape library and wait for it to completely initialize.

An error message may appear on the LCD that reads Drive Error or Drive Invalid.
Ignore this message, as this behavior is normal until the tape library firmware has been
updated.

2 Open a Web browser on the system that contains the downloaded firmware files.
3 Enter the IP address of the RMU that is installed in the library that requires the firmware

update.

4 If you are using Internet Explorer on a Windows Server™ 2003 system, the RMU must be a

member of Internet Explorer’s list of trusted sites. If the device has not been added to the list
or you are not certain that it is on the list, perform the following substeps. If the RMU is
already on the list of trusted sites, or if another operating system or Web browser is being
used, skip to Step 5.

Click the Sites button.

sites.
