Performing a System Test
The autoloader includes features to support troubleshooting and
diagnostic operations. If an autoloader error occurs, an error message and
error code are displayed on the Operator's Panel.
Additional diagnostic tests are included on the diagnostic software on the
Resource CD.
The System Test option cycles the autoloader through the process of
loading, calibrating, and unloading all cartridges in the carousel.
Running a system test verifies the basic operational soundness of the
autoloader and tape drive. The system test continues indefinitely until
you press the Cancel button. All regular backup or restore operations are
suspended while a system test is in progress.
To run a system test:
1 From the main menu, press the Next [+] or Previous [-] button until
appears on the top line of the LCD screen.
