Function Code 2: Update Drive Firmware From Fmr Tape - IBM TS3310 Maintenance Information

Record the time it takes for the test to complete. Compare the recorded time with
the "Approximate Run Time" above. If the test runs successfully but the execution
time is significantly longer than the "Approximate Run Time", run "Function Code
F: Write Performance Test" on page D-36. If the Write Performance Test fails,
replace the media.
Attention: For this test, 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 (e.g. Gen 1, WORM media, or
non-FMR cartridge), error code
status light flashes. If you inserted a write-protected cartridge, or the media
has read-only compatibility (e.g., Gen2 media), error code
SCD. Press the Unload Button. 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 "Entering
Maintenance Mode" on page D-27.
2. Press the Unload Button once per second until
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 function
4. Insert a scratch (blank) data cartridge. The SCD changes to a flashing
the test begins.
v If no error is detected, the diagnostic will exit Maintenance Mode,
temporarily appears in the SCD, and the drive returns to Operational Mode
(SCD blank, Green Ready/Activity status light ON, and the Amber Fault
status light is OFF)
v If an error is detected, the Fault status light flashes amber and the drive
posts an error code to the SCD. To determine the error, locate the code in
"Drive Error Codes" on page D-41. To clear the error either turn the power
off and then on again, or reboot the drive by pressing and holding the
Unload Button for 10 seconds.

Function Code 2: Update Drive Firmware from FMR Tape

Attention: When updating drive firmware, do not power-off the drive until the
update is complete or the firmware may be lost.
