Demo Mode
When you first choose a diagnostic option, the library prompts you to press ENTER to put
the library in Maintenance Mode.
NOTE: In Maintenance Mode, the library goes offline to the host. Make sure all host
activity has stopped before proceeding.
If you wish to continue, the display prompts you to insert a "diagnostic" cartridge.
A diagnostic cartridge is an ordinary CompacTape IV (III, IIIXT) cartridge with a "DG" label
attached. The library requires this label for diagnostic routines and rejects any other
cartridge at this point. If, for some reason, you start these routines and do not have a DG
tape, you might need to reset the library by pressing SYSTEM RESET , or by opening and
closing the front door, in order to exit the Maintenance Mode.
Once you put the library in Maintenance Mode and insert a diagnostic tape, the library
retains that tape, enabling you to run other diagnostic routines at the same time without
leaving Maintenance Mode. When you are finished with Library Diagnostics, press MENU
once or several times, as required) to exit, retrieve the diagnostic tape, and return to a
higher-level menu.
The library provides detailed prompts for running the diagnostic routines (including
specifying drives for mounts and dismounts). Select the desired routine using the arrow
buttons, and press ENTER. Then follow the prompts given on the operator panel display.
