NOTE:

Once selected, the RDX Utility validates that the ﬁle selected is in fact RDX code for the unit

being upgraded and loads the new code ﬁle on the RDX drive. If a cartridge is installed,

the drive ejects it and shuts down the cartridge interface prior to loading the new code. This

guarantees that no data is corrupted during the code load. After the new code is loaded,

the RDX dock resets itself and begins running the new code.

Compatibility/Interoperability

None

Determining current version

You can check your current ﬁrmware revision from the HP RDX Utility’s Diagnostic window, as described

above.
