8-82 SCSI and I/O
• Clean the drive with the cleaning cartridge.
• Insert the firmware update tape. The drive will now take over the activity and accomplish the update.
• WAIT UNTIL ALL ACTIVITY HAS FINISHED before removing the update tape from the drive.
This is approximately 2 to 3 minutes.
Firmware Upgrade Failures:
• Firmware tape write protected - The tape will be ejected and no update will be done.
• Process interrupted at crucial point - If a power interruption occurs or activity on the SCSI bus
interferes, a DEAD DRIVE will be created.
Verify the upgrade by using appropriate diagnostic or utility. (SCSI8MM Interactive command REVision)

Drive Status Light
Figure 8-46. HP A3024A LED Indicators
The LED combinations can be used to determine the tape drives operating state as follows:
• When the top LED is on or flashing, the tape drive either has an error or the tape drive needs to be
cleaned.
• When the middle LED is on or flashing, SCSI activity is occurring. The middle LED can be green or
amber as follows:
When this LED is amber, the tape loaded in the tape drive is in compressed format.
When this LED is green, the tape loaded in the tape drive is in uncompressed format.
• When the bottom LED is on or flashing, normal tape motion is occurring.
Also refer to Figure 8-47 for all the LED definitions.
