then release the button to take the drive out of maintenance mode. If no error
is detected,
0
temporarily appears in the SCD, then goes blank. The drive
then exits maintenance mode and the Ready light will turn On.
2. If an error is detected, the SCD shows an error code but still exits maintenance
mode. To determine the error, locate the code in Appendix A, “Error Codes and
Messages,” on page A-1. To clear the error, turn the power off, then on again.
3. Press and hold the Unload button until the drive resets.
Note: The drive also exits maintenance mode automatically after it completes a
maintenance function or after 10 minutes if no action has occurred.
Function Code 0: Maintenance Mode
Function Code
0
makes the drive available for running drive diagnostics or
maintenance functions.
1. Place the drive in Maintenance Mode. For instructions, see“Entering
Maintenance Mode” on page 3-8.
2. To exit Maintenance Mode, see “Exiting Maintenance Mode” on page 3-8.
The drive exits Maintenance Mode automatically after it completes a maintenance
function or after 10 minutes if no action has occurred.
Function Code 1: Run Drive Diagnostics
Approximate Run Time = 5 minutes per loop
Total Number of Loops = 1
Function Code
1
runs tests that determine whether the drive can properly load
and unload cartridges and read and write data.
Record the time it takes for the test to complete. Compare the recorded time with
the "Approximate Run Time" above. If the test runs successfully but the execution
time is significantly longer than the "Approximate Run Time," run “Function Code
F: Write Performance Test” on page 3-17. If the Write Performance Test fails,
replace the media and exit maintenance mode.
Attention: For this test, insert only a scratch (blank) data cartridge or a cartridge
that may be overwritten. During the test, the drive overwrites the data on the
cartridge.
Note: If you inserted an invalid tape cartridge (e.g. FMR or WORM media), error
code
J
or
7
appears in the SCD. If you inserted a write-protected
cartridge, or the media has read-only compatibility (e.g., Gen1 media), error
code
P
appears in the SCD. In either case, the tape drive unloads the
cartridge and exits Maintenance Mode after the cartridge is removed.
Steps to Execute Run Drive Diagnostics:
1. Place the drive in Maintenance Mode. For instructions, see “Entering
Maintenance Mode” on page 3-8.
