Updating Firmware

NOTE: Before upgrading firmware, be sure to generate a support ticket using HP StorageWorks
Library & Tape Tools (see page 98). The resulting information may be helpful to your service
provider in resolving potential issues that may have prompted the firmware upgrade.
MSL Series tape libraries can be flashed using HP StorageWorks Library and Tape Tools (L&TT), the
Remote Management Interface, or the MSLUtil.exe diagnostic utility and diagnostic cable.

latest available revisions at http://www.hp.com/support, or through L&TT. You can check your current
firmware revisions from the GUI touch screen. Select Menu > View System Data > Library
