3.9 Upgrade Drive Firmware

Warning: Updating a drive with incorrect firmware can cause it to become unusable

This function allows drive firmware to be updated from a file or over the internet.

The Current Details pane shows information about the drive (if available).

The List Supported Drives button displays a window containing all of the supported drive

model numbers. If the drive is not supported a red warning banner will be displayed.

One of three methods can be used to update drive firmware:

1) A firmware binary file can be specified in the Firmware File field and updated using the

appropriate Load File button.

2) A specification file (with a .jar extension) can be entered in the Firmware Specification File

field and flashed using the appropriate Load File button.

3) The update can be performed over the internet using the Online Update button.

If the Enable Retries checkbox is checked, firmware flashing will be re-attempted if a failure has

been detected. Up to 10 attempts will be made before the system aborts the process.

Click Upgrade to update the drive firmware, or Cancel to exit without making changes.
