IDE/ATAPI NS20 Upgrade Instructions
The following instructions are for updating the firmware of the
IDE NS20 tape drive to the latest revision.
Operating Instructions
1. Attach the tape drive to the IDE/ATAPI Bus. If the drive is not
recognized by the IDE/ATAPI Bus, verify that the master/slave ID are
set up correctly.
2. Create a bootable DOS diskette.
3. Copy FlashAT.exe and A279.dfi to the root directory of the bootable
floppy diskette.
4. Boot to the diskette.
5. To execute the flash executible, type the following at the
a:\ prompt:
FLASHAT A279.DFI
Description of command line:
FlashAT.exe = the executible used to upgrade firmware
*.dfi file = the firmware upgrade file
DO NOT power off the drive while the firmware upgrade is in process.
Power loss to the drive will render the drive inoperable and will
require service to repair.
You must reboot your system before using the tape drive to ensure your
controller recognizes the firmware upgrade.
