                         Firmware and EEPROM Upgrades

   From this page, you can access firmware and EEPROM images for Exabyte
   products and instructions for performing upgrades.

   Firmware enables your Exabyte tape drive, library, autoloader, or
   connectivity solution to correctly interpret commands from software
   applications. EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory)
   images are custom settings for certain options, such as whether a tape drive
   compresses data by default. (Only certain models of tape drives use EEPROM
   images; libraries do not use EEPROM images.)

     Note: When you click on a file for downloading, your browser may display
     the file instead of saving it to disk. (This problem may occur for files
     with the following extensions: .out, .hex, .i, .dos, .drv, .com, .tap.) If
     necessary, use your browser to save the file to your hard drive. Or,
     configure a new MIME type in your browser so it recognizes the file
     extension for downloading.

Tape drive firmware

     Important: Do not upgrade tape drive firmware or EEPROM images unless
     Exabyte Technical Support has advised you to do so. If performed
     improperly, the upgrade procedure can render your device inoperable.
     Please consult with [4]Exabyte Technical Support before performing an
     upgrade. Technical Support will help you select the most appropriate
     [5]upgrade method for your particular model.

  Which upgrade method should I use for my tape drive?

   The table above lists the upgrade options available for each model of tape
   drive. You can review descriptions of each option here. Please consult with
   [81]Exabyte Technical Support to determine which method is most appropriate
   for your particular model.

   Exabyte Monitor software
   (using the serial port) EXPERT for DOS
   (using the SCSI bus) Codeload tape PROM
   Use Monitor to upload firmware to your tape drive from an IBM-compatible
   computer's serial port. The Monitor program for M2 also allows you to upload
   code across the SCSI bus, if you wish. For all other models, you must
   purchase a specific serial cable.
   The Monitor programs for older Exabyte tape drives are DOS based. Mammoth
   Monitor is available for DOS, Windows 3.1, and Win NT/95. M2 Monitor is
   available for Windows 95/98/2000/NT 4.0.
   You can [82]download Monitor free of charge. Use EXPERT to upload firmware
   to your tape drive from an IBM-compatible computer across the SCSI bus. No
   special cable is required.
   Your computer must be able to run DOS. (Note that EXPERT does not run under
   the Windows NT 32-bit operating system; you cannot shell to DOS from NT and
   use EXPERT.) You must also load the appropriate ASPI DOS drivers for the
   SCSI adapter card installed in your computer.
   You can [83]download EXPERT free of charge. Codeload tapes are the easiest
   way to upload firmware into a tape drive.
   Your tape drive can be connected to any operating system, and you don't need
   to shut the system down. You simply insert the codeload tape into the tape
   drive and the upgrade automatically occurs. You can use the tape as many
   times as necessary to upgrade drives of the same model. For M2, you can use
   the codeload tape as a regular data tape after you are finished.
   You can order a codeload tape from [84]Exabyte Technical Support (overnight
   delivery is available). For some of Exabyte's oldest tape drives, the only
   method of upgrading firmware is to install a new PROM (programmable
   read-only memory).
   You can either order a PROM from [85]Exabyte, or create your own by
   downloading the firmware from this web site and using a PROM burner.

Library, autoloader, and connectivity solution firmware

     Important: Do not upgrade library, autoloader, or solution firmware unless
     Exabyte Technical Support has advised you to do so. If performed
     improperly, the upgrade procedure can render your device inoperable.
     Please consult with [86]Exabyte Technical Support before performing an
     upgrade. Technical Support will help you select the most appropriate
     [87]upgrade method for your particular model.

  Which upgrade method should I use for my library, autoloader, or connectivity
  solution?

   The table above lists the upgrade options available for each library,
   autoloader, and connectivity solution. You can review descriptions of each
   option here. Please consult with [143]Exabyte Technical Support to determine
   which method is most appropriate for your particular model.

   Console or configuration interface
   (using the serial port) EXPERT for DOS
   (using the SCSI bus) WRITE BUFFER command
   (using the SCSI bus) FTP
   (using Ethernet)
   Most Exabyte libraries and autoloaders have a built-in console interface for
   upgrading firmware and performing diagnostics. For libraries with an
   Ethernet interface, you can also upload new Ethernet firmware through the
   console interface.
   You can access the console interface by attaching a straight-through 9-pin
   serial cable to the library's serial port. To communicate with the console
   interface, use a terminal emulation program such as HyperTerminal or
   Exabyte's [144]CHS Terminal for DOS, which can be downloaded free of charge.
   The FC11 also has a serial port that allows you to access internal
   configuration software and upload firmware. You can use any terminal
   emulation program that supports XMODEM transfers. For some Exabyte
   libraries, you can use EXPERT to upload firmware from an IBM-compatible
   computer across the SCSI bus. No special cable is required.
   Your computer must be able to run DOS. (Note that EXPERT does not run under
   the Windows NT 32-bit operating system; you cannot shell to DOS from NT and
   use EXPERT.) You must also load the appropriate ASPI DOS drivers for the
   SCSI adapter card installed in your computer.
   You can [145]download EXPERT free of charge.
   On-line help is available with the program, or you can refer to the EXPERT 7
   User's Guide, available from the [146]Library of Technical Publications. For
   some Exabyte libraries, you can transfer new firmware over the SCSI bus
   using the WRITE BUFFER command.
   To use this method, you must have software that can issue SCSI commands
   directly to the library.
   For information about the WRITE BUFFER command, refer to the SCSI Reference
   for your particular library, available from the [147]Library of Technical
   Publications. For Exabyte libraries that have an Ethernet interface, you can
   upload firmware using an Ethernet connection between your computer and the
   library's Ethernet port. You can also use this method to upgrade the
   library's Ethernet firmware.
   The FC11 also has an Ethernet port that you can use for uploading firmware.
