HP StoreEver LTO 6 Ultrium SAS Full Height Tape Drive O39D Release Notes (EH963-90918, June 2013)

Installation instructions
Use HP Library & Tape Tools (L&TT) to update the tape drive firmware. You can download L&TT from
http://www.hp.com/support/tapetools. Installation instructions for the L&TT utility and firmware update
instructions are available in the latest version of the User Guide that is available after clicking the
Documentation link on http://www.hp.com/support/tapetools. Online help is also included with the
utility.
Most versions of L&TT have the ability to obtain new firmware from the utility itself. If your version does
not have this functionality or L&TT is not installed on a server with internet access, the L&TT firmware
files can also be obtained on the external HP support website: http://www.hp.com/support/storage.
To locate the firmware:
1. Select your product from the Tape Storage list.
2. Navigate to the Download Drivers and Software page.
3. Select the operating system.
4. Select Category = Firmware – Tape Storage.
5. Locate an entry containing the phrase: “for use with Library and Tape Tools.”
NOTE: If no match is found, then L&TT is not supported on the selected combination of product
and OS.
6. After an entry is found, click the Download button to begin the download of the desired firmware
file.
NOTE: If you have trouble finding your product or firmware, use the Product Search function
from http//www.hp.com/support/downloads.
NOTE: Once the firmware update has started, do NOT power off the unit or interrupt the firmware
update process until it is complete. Doing so could leave the tape drive in a non-usable state.

You can check your current firmware revision from HP Library & Tape Tools (L&TT). Launch L&TT, select
