Chapter 6: Troubleshooting and Maintenance

If the ﬁrmware is already at the same level as the code on the tape, the DLT2000XT

tape drive does not go through the update process. If the ﬁrmware is not at the same

level as the code on the tape, the drive code goes through a two- to three-minute

update. During this time, the Write Protect and Tape in Use LEDs ﬂash alternately.

After the drive code update is complete, the DLT2000XT tape drive resets and goes

through a POST, and the tape rewinds to the beginning-of-tape (BOT) marker. The

cartridge door should unlock and the green Operate Handle LED should turn on.

If the ﬁrmware image is valid, the controller’s FLASH EEPROM memory is

automatically updated with the new ﬁrmware image. The Write Protect and Tape in

Use LEDs ﬂash again during the controller ﬁrmware update.

At the end of the process, the drive unloads the ﬁrmware update tape. The green

Operate Handle LED comes on and the door unlocks.

6. Remove the ﬁrmware update tape.

If the ﬁrmware cartridge does not complete the actions listed in step 5, it means that the

update process has failed. The DLT2000XT tape drive may still be usable, but may

require service (depending on why the unit failed). The three most probable reasons for

a DLT2000XT tape drive failing to complete step 5 are

• bad or corrupted data on the update tape cartridge

• power cutoff to the DLT2000XT tape drive during the update process

•ﬂash EEPROM malfunction

The ﬁrst two problems can probably be corrected fairly easily by obtaining a new update

tape or repeating the upgrade process. The third problem probably requires a qualiﬁed

service visit by a ﬁeld repair technician.

Updating Firmware on the DLT2500XT Stacker

Follow these steps:

1. Make sure tape operations are ﬁnished. For the ﬁrmware update to be successful,

the stacker must have passed the power-on self-test (POST).

2. With the LDR RDY message displaying press the Open button on the control panel

to open the door. Remove the magazine and close the door.

3. Remove all cartridges from the magazine; insert the code update cartridge into

slot 0.
