In the MSL8096, the 12-slot mailslot does not pop out; the operator must open it.
6.
Insert a scratch cartridge into the lowest-numbered mailslot. If no mailslots are enabled or the operator
closes the mailslot without inserting a cartridge into the lowest-numbered mailslot, the library will perform
a shortened version of the wellness test, skipping step 7.
7.
The library loads the scratch cartridge into the first tape drive, unloads the scratch cartridge from the tape
drive, and returns the scratch cartridge to the mailslot. If the operator selected to test all of the tape
drives, the library will load the scratch cartridge into each tape drive before returning it to the mailslot.
8.
The library moves the tape cartridge from the four top-row corner slots to the tape drive load point and
then returns the tape cartridge to its slot. If one of the top-row corner slot positions does not contain a
tape cartridge, the library will skip that location. If none of the top-row corner slots contain a tape
cartridge, the library displays an error message.
9.
The test continues for the specified number of cycles.
10.
At the conclusion of the test, the library pops open the mailslot and waits for the operator to remove the
scratch tape.
In the MSL8096, if only the 12-slot mailslot is configured, the library will prompt the operator to open the
mailslot and remove the scratch tape cartridge.
11.
The library displays the test completion status, including any recoveries or errors that might have
occurred.
Error codes
If an error occurs during operation, the device stops the current operation and displays an error code on the
LCD screen. Unless otherwise noted in
on page 151, record the error code or error
message from the LCD screen, and then try to resolve the error by cycling power to the device and retrying
the operation.
To check the overall operation of the device, run the wellness test from the OCP. The wellness test exercises
all robotic movements and checks the status of the electrical components and communication.
If the error persists, contact support personnel.
There are three ways to obtain error codes from the device:
• On the OCP
• On the RMI
• On an L&TT support ticket or report
Finding error code information on the MSL2024 OCP
When an error first occurs, the error message and error code are displayed on the OCP.

The code
9B
is the main error code, and
37
is the error sub-code.
If you review the Error Log in the Support menu, the OCP error log displays the error code.
