Introduction
The G4 and G5 QIP supports 4 GB Fibre Channel, and may require a library firmware upgrade.
• The G4 QIP does not support BlueScale Encryption and key management.
• The G5 QIP supports BlueScale Encryption and key management.
The upgrade process involved in moving from the G2/3 to the G4/5, including use of media
encrypted using G3 and G5, is reviewed in this guide.

Using Media Encrypted with G3 and G5 QIPs
Media containing data encrypted using the G3 QIP can be read by a partition using a G5 QIP;
however, you cannot append to the tape using the upgraded QIP. To write to the tape with data
encrypted using the G3 QIP, use a partition that uses the G3 QIP.

The G4/G5 QIP Upgrade
This guide includes the procedure for upgrading from a G2 or G3 QIP to a G4 or G5 QIP in a
Spectra T120 or Spectra T950 library. Upgrading to the newer generation QIP requires the
replacement of the pin inside the QIP bay as well as the QIP itself.
