3.2.14.3 Disk Firmware Administrator

This section describes how to operate the Disk Firmware Administrator function.

Disk firmware is distributed as HCP data together with the main unit firmware, and is automatically registered concurrently with registration of the main unit firmware. However, after the registration, the disk firmware and main unit firmware are separately managed. The registered main unit firmware can be deleted from the menu; however, the registered disk firmware cannot be deleted.

The following operation should only be performed by a certified service engineer.
