Self-test
For procedures that pertain to your host, refer to one of the following:
1. “Checking the SCSI Attachment in an AS/400 Environment” on page PROC-73.
2. “Checking the SCSI Attachment in an AIX Environment” on page PROC-76.
3. “Checking the SCSI Attachment in a Sun Environment” on page PROC-80.
4. “Checking the SCSI Attachment in a HP-UX Environment” on page PROC-83.
5. “Checking the SCSI Attachment in a Windows NT Environment” on page PROC-83.
Hardware Reset
In library models, a hardware reset equivalent to a power-on reset of the drive unit and library can be
done from the operator panel by pressing the Change Mode push button, the Scroll Up push button and
the Enter push button at the same time (Change Mode+Scroll-Up+Enter).
In drive-only models, turn power OFF and then back ON to create a hardware reset.
End of Call
Note: When you switch OFF power to the drive or library device, wait approximately 5 seconds before
switching ON power again.
1. Set the Power switch to the ON position.
The power-on test takes approximately 2.5 minutes to complete, and is automatically performed when
the 3570 power is switched ON. The tests that run depend on the model of 3570 you have installed:
Model B00 Drive
a. The drive LEDs will light solid for a time, then go out.
b. The Maintenance LED will blink while the diagnostic is running.
c. When the test is concluded without error, the drive LEDs will all go off.
d. If an error occurs, the drive LEDs will flash quickly, then begin to send the FID via flashing
LEDs. To decode these flashing LEDs, see Figure 253 on page PROC-11.
For library Models:
a. The three LEDs will go on solid momentarily, then will begin to blink as the power—on
diagnostics run.
b. The picker assembly will move back and forth from side to side, then will begin to calibrate its
position in relation to the magazines.
c. The picker assembly will then sense each cartridge and indicate full or empty slots in the
magazine.
d. If an error occurs, it is displayed in the library operator panel display.
If a failure occurs on any model, go to the START section for further analysis.
2. If you replaced the drive logic card, (FID EA), which contains VPD information, do the following:
a. Ensure the microcode was updated. See step 6 on page CARR-17.
b. Ensure the drive options and customer options are correct. See “Set Drive Options—Library
Models” on page INST-45.
3. Run tests for the areas you have been making repairs to; if the drive was repaired, run the Drive Test,
if the library was being repaired, run the Library Test:
