Diagnostic Tests
Diagnostic tests simulate online library operation. These tests must be run only when the
target mechanisms are offline. For example, if the test exercises only the robot and does
not affect any drives (as in the Get-Put diagnostic test), only the library must be offline.
If, however, you wish to mount a tape to a drive (Mount-Dismount diagnostic test), both
the library and drive must be offline.
The two tests used to check library and drive operation are the Get-Put Loop and Mount-
Dismount diagnostic tests, which are described in detail below.
CAUTION:
System interruption: If you wish to run tests from a laptop device, you
must connect the laptop to the CSE port on the MPC/MPCL card. Be sure
the library is offline before running tests. The CSE interface does not
give a warning that the library will be taken offline.

Get-Put Loop Diagnostic Test

The Get-Put Loop diagnostic test validates cell-to-cell move capabilities using a
diagnostic cartridge. The robot:
• Retrieves (gets) the diagnostic cartridge from its reserved cell
• Moves the hand and cartridge laterally and vertically
• Places (puts) the cartridge back into the reserved cell
To run the Get-Put Loop diagnostic test:
1. Be sure that the library is offline.
2. Make sure the main access door is closed and the library menu is displayed.
3. Be sure there is a diagnostic cartridge in the reserved area.
