Maintenance guidelines
Once you have determined which FRU needs to be replaced, follow
the appropriate instructions in Chapter 5 to replace the FRU. Before
you start, perform the following preliminary maintenance procedures:
1.
Make sure the current operation has completed and that tape
motion has stopped. Tape motion has stopped when the bottom
LED stops blinking.
2.
If necessary, unload the data cartridge by pressing the unload
button or issuing a LOAD/UNLOAD (1Bh) command to the
CTS.
Note:
If a data cartridge is loaded in a nonfunctioning CTS,
refer to Chapter 4 for instructions on removing the data
cartridge.
3.
Make sure the maintenance environment meets the static
protection requirements listed on page 1-12.
4.
Make sure that another device terminates the SCSI bus and that
there is no activity on the bus. The middle LED stops flashing
when there is no activity on the SCSI bus.
5.
Disconnect the SCSI cable from the CTS.
Note:
If you plan to clean the CTS or load new microcode, do
not perform the rest of these steps. Instead, refer to
Chapter 2 (for cleaning) or Chapter 3 (for loading new
microcode).
6.
Disconnect the power cable from the CTS.
7.
If necessary, remove the CTS from its enclosure or mounting
brackets.
