Using the Remote Management Card
(library firmware only)

All library components, except drives, can be easily downloaded from the
remote management card (“Using the Remote Management Card” on
page 3-9)
.

NOTE

The firmware file is available from HP Support at www.hp.com/go/
support. These files must be loaded onto the local host computer before
downloading firmware. First select your product, and then make a
selection from the

Downloads & Drivers

pull-down menu.

1. Once the library is configured for network access, enter the IP

address within your web browser to launch the Web-Based Library
Administrator pages. (See “Using the Remote Management Card” on
page 3-9.
)

2. Select the

[Configuration]

tab from the main screen.

3. Select the

[Firmware Download]

button.

4. Enter the full pathname for the download file, or use the

[Browse]

button to locate the file.

NOTE

The library administrator password is required for this process and is not
set by default. If the password is not set, you will not be permitted to
download firmware. (See “Enabling and Changing the Password” on page
3-5.)

5. Select the

[Start Firmware Download]

button to begin the actual process

of downloading the library firmware.

Once the download process begins, the progress and status of the
download will display on the lower half of your screen.

NOTE

The firmware download may take several minutes to complete.
