Action
Release the unload button to unload the data cartridge.
Release the unload button to accept a data cartridge that contains the
firmware image (code load). The LEDs then indicate code load mode.
Insert the data cartridge to begin the code update. The tape drive returns to
normal operation if you do not load a data cartridge within 15 seconds.
CAUTION: This feature overwrites any data currently on the data
cartridge. Before performing this action, confirm that the data cartridge in
the tape drive does not contain critical data.
Release the unload button to start an internal read/write diagnostic. You
must load a data cartridge to run the diagnostic. The tape drive writes and
reads 400 MB of data, then unloads the data cartridge. This process takes
approximately two minutes. The tape drive returns to normal operation if it
detects no errors. The appropriate LEDs illuminate if an error occurs.
Release the unload button to force an internal reset. The tape drive
initializes as if you turned power off and then on (POST).
Release the unload button to return the tape drive to normal operation.
