Installation instructions

1. If you have already installed the HP RDX utility, go to step 2. If you have not already installed the

HP RDX utility, insert the HP StorageWorks RDX Removable Disk CD supplied with the product into

the CD-ROM drive on the server. You must be logged in as the Administrator or have administrator

privileges to install the HP RDX utility.

• The CD should automatically start the installation process. If it does not start automatically, locate

the RDXInstallationWizard.exe program on the CD and double-click to run it manually.

• Follow the instructions on the screen and restart the server when asked to do so.

2. Download the latest ﬁrmware fromhttp://www.hp.com/support/rdx to your server. The latest

3. Launch the RDXUtility program located under Start -> All Programs -> HP RDX.

4. Select (highlight) the RDX device in the main window.

5. Click Diagnostic to open the Diagnostic window.

6. Click Change Firmware... and browse to the desired ﬁrmware ﬁle (.bip).

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.
