Verifying the installation

2. Press Next until the display shows Autoloader Information. Press Enter.
3. Press Next until the display shows the Firmware Rev.
To find the current firmware revision, visit the HP Support website: http://www.hp.com/support.
If necessary, update the device firmware:
• From the RMI, see “Determining and updating firmware ” on page 77.
• From the OCP, see “Upgrading firmware (Support > Autoloader FW Upgrade, Support > Drive
FW Upgrade)” on page 103.
• Using HP Library and Tape Tools (L&TT), which can be downloaded free of charge from http://

After configuring the Autoloader, you can save the configuration settings to a USB flash drive from
the OCP or to a file from the RMI Configuration: Save/Restore screen. Having a backup of the
Autoloader configuration is helpful when recovering from a configuration error, setting up multiple
devices with similar configurations, or if the Autoloader needs service. See Saving and restoring the
device configuration and restoring factory defaults, page 72.
