Please stop all backup applications before updating a tape drive or
tape library.  Depending on your software application, you may need to
unmount (unreserve) any tape cartridges in the library.  See your
computer operating system documentation or software application 
documentation for instructions on how to unmount tape cartridges.
Due to space restraints inherent to diskettes, it is necessary
to first boot diskette #1, then insert the desired diskette and proceed with
the "Refresh/Change Disk" option.


* NOTE 1:  DLT and SDLT1 tape drives inside libraries may not come ready and/or
report the correct firmware version when the drive firmware is upgraded. 
Therefore, after a firmware upgrade, you should power-cycle the tape library 
(or use the reboot function on the front panel). 

* NOTE 2: Select the correct diskette as indicated by the SCSI adapter used 
by the device(s).
