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 Appendix C,
“Error codes and messages,” on page 63. 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 F: Write performance test
Approximate Run Time = 7 minutes per loop
Total Number of Loops = 10
Function code performs tests to make sure that the drive can read from and
write to tape.
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: For this test, insert only a scratch (blank) data cartridge or a cartridge
that can be overwritten. During the test, the drive overwrites the data on the
cartridge.
Note: If you inserted an invalid tape cartridge (e.g., Ultrium 3 or WORM tape
cartridge), error code or appears in the SCD. If you inserted a
write-protected cartridge, or the media has read-only compatibility (e.g., Ultrium 4
tape cartridge), error code appears in the SCD. In either case, the tape drive
unloads the cartridge and exits Maintenance mode after the cartridge is removed.
To execute Function code F: Write performance test, complete the following steps:
1. Put the drive in Maintenance mode. For instructions, see “Entering
Maintenance mode” on page 27.
2. Press the Unload button once per second until 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 3 or more seconds, then release it to
select the function. The SCD changes to a flashing , requesting a cartridge.
4. Insert a scratch (blank) data cartridge. The SCD changes to a flashing and
the tape drive runs the tests.
v
If no error is detected, the diagnostic will loop and begin again. To stop the
loop, press the Unload button for one second and release. When the
diagnostic ends, 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 Appendix C,
“Error codes and messages,” on page 63. 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.
