Updating Library and Tape

Drive Firmware

There are two types of firmware that can be upgraded on the library:

library firmware (including drive sled firmware) and tape drive

firmware. There may be times when you will need to upgrade your

library and tape drive firmware as directed by Dell Technical Support.

You can also regularly monitor the Dell Support Website at

http://support.dell.com

for firmware upgrades, but you need to make sure

that the firmware you download is compatible with your library and tape

drives.
