IBM Magstar MP 3570 C Series, Maintenance Information

Page: 191 / 675

Check to see if the write-protect tab is set in the upward position to protect the tape from being written
on. If you are attempting to write on the tape with the write-protect tab upward, you will experience an
error condition.
Check to ensure that the cartridge is the proper type (Magstar MP Fast Access Linear Tape).
Ensure that a cleaner cartridge has been inserted if one has been requested and, conversely, that no
cleaner cartridge has been inserted if a data cartridge is required.
Check to see if the display indicates FID1 95. If it does, you may have forgotten to remove the
shipping bracket. Remove the bracket and continue the procedure. See steps at “Installation
Checkout—Library Models” on page INST-40.
Ensure that the library is in operator mode (see
5
in Figure 104 on page PANEL-3).
Ensure that the library is on-line.
Turn the power off and then on again.
Note: Two power cords are required for Models C02 and C12. Make sure both power cords are plugged
into the library unit and into the power outlet.
Supplemental Message Screens
Supplemental screens provide additional information to the operator to clarify an error condition or to
advise the operator to follow a particular course of action to resolve specific error conditions.
Generally, it is necessary to press the Enter button after an error message appears to see the
accompanying supplemental screen.
PANEL
Menu Screens
When a menu screen is present, use the Scroll Down button (see
3
in Figure 104 on page PANEL-3) or
the Scroll Up button (see
4
in Figure 104 on page PANEL-3) to move the arrow (
>
) to the desired
selection, and then press the Enter button (see
2
in Figure 104 on page PANEL-3). This operation will
select the desired option from the menu.
Note: An option marked with an asterisk indicates the option is not available for selection or the option is
the selection currently in use by the library. For example: if the drive is not loaded with a tape cartridge,
the UNLOAD DRIVE option will be marked with an asterisk indicating it is not available for selection.
Operator Menus
Figure 108 on page PANEL-12 shows the operator menu functions. (The bold text in the figure shows
the names of the menus.)
These menus are available after the successful completion of the power-on self-test.
