2. Press the Unload Button once per second until
1
appears in the SCD. (If you
cycle past the desired code, press the Unload Button once per second until the
code reappears.)
3. Press and hold the Unload Button for three or more seconds, then release it to
select function
1
. Wait for the SCD to change to a flashing
C
.
4. Insert a scratch (blank) data cartridge. The SCD changes to a flashing
1
and
the test begins. During the test, the drive will Unload/Load the cartridge. Do
not remove the cartridge during the test.
v If no error is detected, when the diagnostic ends,
0
temporarily appears in
the SCD, and the tape drive exits Maintenance Mode.
v
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 Error Codes and
Messages. To clear the error either turn the power off and then on again, or
reboot the drive by pressing and holding the Unload Button for 10 seconds.
Function Code 2: Update Drive Firmware from FMR Tape
Attention: When updating drive firmware, do not power-off the drive until the
update is complete or the firmware may be lost.
Function Code
8
loads drive firmware from a field microcode replacement
(FMR) tape. The FMR tape must have been created from a LTO 3 tape drive with
the same host interface (e.g. SAS, Fibre Channel).
1. Place the drive in Maintenance Mode. For instructions, see “Entering
Maintenance Mode” on page 3-8.
2. Press the Unload Button once per second until
8
appears in the SCD. (If you
cycle past the desired code, press the Unload Button once per second until the
code reappears.)
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
.
4.
Insert the FMR tape cartridge. The SCD changes to a flashing
8
. The Fault
light will be ON solid during tape movement and flashing while code is being
loaded. The Ready light will be OFF. The tape drive loads the updated
firmware from the FMR tape into its erasable programmable read-only memory
(EPROM) area.
v If the update completes successfully, the tape drive rewinds and unloads the
FMR tape, resets itself, and is ready to use the new firmware. The drive
automatically reboots.
v
If the update fails, the tape drive posts an error code to the SCD. To
determine the error, locate the code in Appendix A, “Error Codes and
Messages,” on page A-1. Push the Unload Button to eject the cartridge. The
drive exits Maintenance Mode after the cartridge is removed. Contact IBM
Technical Support for problem determination or machine replacement.
