functions (such as Run Tape Drive Diagnostics and Create FMR Tape) that require
a tape cartridge to be inserted.
Function Code E: Test Cartridge & Media
Approximate Run Time = 15 minutes per loop
Total Number of Loops = 10
Function Code

performs tests that determine whether a suspect cartridge and
its magnetic tape are acceptable.
Press the Unload Button to stop the diagnostic and exit maintenance mode.
Pressing the Unload Button once will abort the test at the end of the current test
loop. Pressing the Unload Button twice will abort the test immediately. Wait for the
drive to rewind the tape and unload the cartridge.
Attention: When you perform this test, data on the suspect tape will be
overwritten.
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.
