DIAGNOSTIC MENU

In this section we discuss each of the diagnostic functions available through the Operator's Panel keypad.
The DIAGNOSTIC MENU is accessed by pressing and holding first the NEXT button and then the MODE button
concurrently for approximately 5 seconds. The LCD will appear as shown:
The following functions are available under the dIAG MENU:
dSP FW

UPG LdR F/W
dSP COUNTS
UPG dRV FW
DRV MAINT
Note



     
When executed, this function displays the revision of the operating firmware used by FastStor
LTO microprocessors and the drive.
Use this function if your application software does not support ADIC FastStor, but does support
ADIC FastStor DLT.
Use this function to change the Mode of Operation from/to RANDOM or SEQUENTIAL.
This function allows you to verify the functionality of the FastStor LTO robotics. CYCLE TEST
exercises the FastStor LTO robotics by executing a sequence of pick and place operations,
moving the cartridges between the slots and the drive.
The CLEAN DRV function permits you to clean the drive head manually. Use this function if
your application software does not support an auto cleaning cycle, and you do not want to
dedicate slot 7 to the FastStor LTO AUTOCLEAN feature.
AUTOCLEAN provides an automatic cleaning cycle. Use AUTOCLEAN only if your
application software does not support an auto cleaning cycle. Slot 7 is dedicated to the cleaning
cartridge whenever AUTOCLEAN is enabled, reducing the FastStor LTO data capacity to 6
tapes.
When executed, this function allows you to upgrade the FastStor LTO formware via the SCSI
bus, or using a field microcode replacement (FMR) tape.
FastStor LTO keeps track of how many times certain events have occurred. The dSP COUNTS
function returns these numbers to the display.
This function allows you to upgrade the drive firmware using a field microcode replacement
(FMR) tape.
This function allows you to select from several sub-functions that will cause the FastStor LTO to
verify the functionality of the drive electronics, tape handling mechanism, read/write head, and
media.
