1.
Place the drive in Maintenance Mode. For instructions, see“Entering
Maintenance Mode” on page 3-9.
2.
To exit Maintenance Mode, see “Exiting Maintenance Mode” on page 3-9.
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 (for example, Gen2 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 (for
example, Gen3 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 3-9.
2.
Press the Unload Button once per second until
1
appears in the SCD. (If you
cycle past the wanted 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
