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
requesting a cartridge.
4 Ensure that the write-protect switch on the cartridge is off, then
insert the cartridge (or the tape drive exits maintenance mode). The
SCD changes to flashing E. The tape drive runs the tests.
• If no error is detected, the diagnostic will loop and begin again.
To stop the loop, press the Unload Button for one second and
release. When the diagnostic ends, 0 temporarily appears in the
SCD, and the tape drive exits Maintenance Mode.
• If an error is detected, the Fault light flashes and the drive posts
an error code to the SCD. To determine the error, locate the
code in
Appendix A, Error Codes and
error either turn the power off and then on again, or reboot the
drive by pressing and holding the Unload Button for 10
seconds.
Approximate Run Time = 7 minutes per loop
Total Number of Loops = 10
Function Code F performs tests to ensure that the drive can read from
and write to tape.
Press the Unload Button to stop the diagnostic and exit maintenance
mode. Pressing the Unload Button once will abort the test at the end of
the current test loop. Pressing the Unload Button twice will abort the
test immediately. Wait for the drive to rewind the tape and unload the
cartridge.
Caution: 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. Gen2 or WORM
media), error code J or 7 appears in the SCD. If you inserted a
write-protected cartridge, or the media has read-only
compatibility (e.g., Gen3 media), 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.
