1.0 Overveiw

The HHLTO.exe file is a Microsoft Windows based self-extracting WinZip executable program that will automatically update the firmware on HHLTO Standalone and Autoloader IBM tape backup units.  The file was built to be fully automated and will take effect immediately upon completion of the tape backup units reset after the firmware has been applied.

3.0 Installation and Setup Instructions

This file is a self-extracting WinZip executable file that will self extract to the systems dedicated temporary directory and run via a batch file.  A self-test and bus reset are performed at the end of the update and the device will then be again ready for use.
