Appendix B. Performing Diagnostic and Maintenance
Functions
Table 9 describes each diagnostic and maintenance function that the 3580 Ultrium 2
Tape Drive can perform, gives its function code (which appears on the
single-character display), and directs you to the instructions for performing the
function. It is recommended that you use a scratch (blank) data cartridge for
diagnostic testing.

Diagnostic or Maintenance Function
Run Tape Drive Diagnostics
Causes the 3580 Ultrium 2 Tape Drive to run tests to determine
whether it can properly load and unload cartridges, and read and
write data.
Update Tape Drive Firmware from FMR Tape
Causes the 3580 Ultrium 2 Tape Drive to load updated firmware
from a field microcode replacement (FMR) tape.
Create FMR Tape
Causes the 3580 Ultrium 2 Tape Drive to copy its field microcode
replacement (FMR) data to a scratch (blank) data cartridge.
Force a Drive Dump
Causes the 3580 Ultrium 2 Tape Drive to perform a dump of data
(also known as saving a microcode trace).
Copy the Drive Dump to Tape (at Beginning of Tape)
Causes the 3580 Ultrium 2 Tape Drive to copy data from a drive
dump (captured by using Function Code 4) to the beginning of a
scratch (blank) data cartridge.
Run SCSI Wrap Test
Causes the 3580 Ultrium 2 Tape Drive to perform a check of the
SCSI circuitry from and to the SCSI connector.
Run RS-422 Wrap Test
Not available.
Unmake FMR Tape
Causes the 3580 Ultrium 2 Tape Drive to erase the FMR data on a
scratch (blank) data cartridge and rewrite the cartridge memory on
the tape. This turns the cartridge into a valid scratch data cartridge.
Display Error Code Log
