Important
Updating the BlueScale software and the firmware for the library components
requires a current service contract with Spectra Logic Technical Support. The
BlueScale Software Support key associated with your service contract must be
stored in the library by entering it into the System Configuration screen. See
Enabling BlueScale Software Support, Options, and Upgrades on page 106 for
additional information.
If you have questions about your service agreement, contact Spectra Logic
Technical Support (see
Contacting Spectra Logic on page 7).
