Updating Firmware
Some problems with the nTier700 may be fixed by updating firmware
packages. Spectra Logic provides complete support for the most currently
shipped releases of firmware packages. Customers using previously
released firmware packages are asked to upgrade to the current release as
soon as possible.
Note: Until further notice, firmware updates for the nTier700 are
currently managed on an individual basis by Spectra Logic
Technical Support. Contact Spectra Logic Technical Support for
assistance (see Contacting Spectra Logic on page 4).
Check the Current Firmware Version
