Function code 7: Run RS-422 wrap test
Note: This function is described here for information only. It is not supported on the IBM® TS2260, TS2270, or the TS2280 tape drive.
This test causes the drive to process a check of the circuitry and connector for the RS-422 interface. This connector supports the Library Drive Interface (LDI) and
the Automation Drive Interface (ADI).
Before this function is selected, attach an LDI or RS-422 wrap plug to the drive 's LDI or RS-422 connector (in place of the LDI or RS-422 cable).
1. Make sure that no cartridge is in the drive, and the appropriate wrap plug is attached to the RS-422 connector.
2. Place the drive in Maintenance mode. For instructions, see

Function code 8: Unmake FMR tape
Function code
erases the field microcode replacement (FMR) data and rewrites the cartridge memory on the tape. This action converts the cartridge into a valid
scratch (blank) data cartridge.

If the tape drive creates the scratch tape successfully, it rewinds and unloads the new tape, exits Maintenance mode, and the tape is ready to use.
If the tape drive fails to create the scratch tape, it displays an error code. To determine the error, see
