Using a serial download
1. Copy the firmware image (zip file) to your portable PC in the Tapelib
directory.
2. Unzip the firmware image.
3. Connect your portable PC to the diagnostic connector at the rear of the tape
library.
4. Make sure that the tape library is in the Offline state.
Note: You must use native MS-DOS when using the flash download function. Refer to
the
Compaq StorageWorks ESL9000 Series Tape Library Diagnostic Software Guide for
more information.

diagnostic screen appears.

library, select the Config tab, the Report System, then press the Enter key. If
the communication is working properly, the current tape library configuration
will be reported. If it is not, check the RS-422 cable connections and make
sure the tape library is in the Offline state.

that the library is set to either Slave or Single Unit. If the tape library is set to
Master, flash download problems may occur. To check this, select the Config
tab and then:
a. Select Multiple Unit
b. Select Report
c. If the tape library is set to Master, press the Escape key to go back,
reselect Multiple Unit, and select Slave. Press the Enter key.

and press the Enter key.
