Chapter 2.

TIPs, Diagnostics, and Procedures

This chapter contains trouble isolation procedures (TIPs), diagnostic routines, and
other important procedures to help you service the PowerVault 130T Library.

Trouble Isolation Procedures

Most faults detected in the library result in a fault symptom code (FSC), four
hexadecimal digits that identify an error. If you have a problem and know the FSC,
you can replace the suggested field replaceable units (FRUs) listed for that FSC.

Examining FSCs

The "Examine FSCs" menu option allows the operator to view the last 20 fault
symptom codes. An example of the FSC display is shown below.

Procedure

To examine FSCs, select the "Library Utilities" menu on the operator panel, and
then select "Examine FSCs." Use the arrow buttons to scroll the lines of the
display.
A listing of FSCs and their meanings is found on the microcode floppy/CD that
comes with the library, under the filename FSC.txt.
