To display the Updates tab, click the Summary link in the upper left corner of the screen. The Updates tab functions much like the Firmware Retrieval utility. When you select the Updates tab, the Update screen is displayed, as shown in Figure6–1. You can select individual or multiple files for download. Make your selections, and then click the Retrieve Selections button. You can also download the TSMC application from this screen.
The firmware database listing contains information regarding firmware for your Compaq tape devices that is available for download from Compaq. The name of this database is the Compaq Firmware Listing. Choose the Compaq Firmware Listing file and click the Retrieve Selections button. When this has been downloaded successfully, a green check mark is displayed to the right of the Compaq Firmware Listing file in the Updates tab listing. Click the Refresh List button to have the Updates tab read the new firmware database listing you have downloaded. This refreshes the listing of firmware on the Updates tab.
Remember, the firmware database shipped with your version of TSMC is current as of the release date of that version of TSMC. It is important to periodically update this database to take advantage of new versions of firmware for your Compaq tape drives and tape devices.
