And then you can take the spacer out of the left magazine and use all
the slots.

On the FTP page, the 73P5 though 89B2 entries are various versions of
tape drive firmwares. The L3 & L4 indicate LTO3 or 4. The next letter
is the connect type (F=Fibre, S=SCSI, A=SAS). If there's an H after
that letter, that's firmware for a half-height drive. So if you have a
Fibre LTO4 that isn't half-height, the latest firmware would be 89B2L4F.
Get the tar or zip version; whichever is appropriate for you. Tar is
for Unix/AIX.

After the firmware has been applied, get the Common_730.zip for the
library firmware.
