is removed. Contact Quantum Technical Support for problem
determination or machine replacement.
Function Code 3 copies the drive's firmware update (FUP) data to a
scratch data cartridge. The resulting FUP tape can only be used to
update the firmware on other LTO-9 tape drives with the same host
interface (SAS, or Fibre Channel).
Caution: For this function, insert only a scratch (blank) data
cartridge or a cartridge that may be overwritten. During
the test, the drive overwrites the data on the cartridge.
Note: If you inserted an invalid tape cartridge, error code J or 7
appears in the SCD. If you inserted a write-protected cartridge,
or the media has read-only compatibility, error code P appears
in the SCD. In either case, the tape drive unloads the cartridge
and exits Maintenance Mode after the cartridge is removed.
1 Place the drive in Maintenance Mode. For instructions, see
Appendix 4, Entering Maintenance
2 Press the Unload button once per second until 3 appears in the
SCD. (If you cycle past the desired code, press the Unload button
once per second until the code reappears.)
3 Press and hold the Unload button for three or more seconds, then
release it to select the function. The SCD changes to a flashing C.
4 Insert a scratch (blank) data cartridge that is not write protected (or
the tape drive exits maintenance mode). The SCD changes to a
flashing 3. The tape drive copies the FUP data to the scratch data
cartridge.
• If the tape drive creates the FUP 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 FUP tape, it displays an error
code. To determine the error, see
Messages. The tape drive then unloads the FUP tape, and exits
Maintenance Mode after the cartridge is removed.
