The fup.4 screen prompts you to insert a scratch (blank) cartridge in the topmost available import/export.1 station slot.

After inserting a scratch cartridge and selecting Apply, the library moves the scratch cartridge from the i/e.1 station to the designated tape drive, takes the tape drive offline, and copies the tape drive firmware to the scratch cartridge. When the copying is complete, the library moves the cartridge back to the top i/e.1 station slot, and brings the tape drive back online.

Note: Any data on the scratch tape will be overwritten when you create the fup.1 tape.

Note: A fup.2 tape can be re-used. You can copy new tape drive firmware to a fup.2 tape or use it as a data storage cartridge.

To complete the fup.2 tape creation operation:

Note: At any time, select Cancel to exit the fup.4 screen. Select Back to return to the previous screen.
