1 Place the drive in maintenance mode. For instructions, see Entering
Maintenance Mode on page 47.
2 Press the Unload button once per second until 8 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 three or more seconds, then
release it to select function 8 . The SCD changes to a flashing C ,
requesting a cartridge.
4 Insert the FUP data cartridge (or the tape drive exits maintenance
mode). The SCD changes to a flashing 8 . The tape drive erases the
firmware on the tape and rewrites the header in the cartridge
memory to change the cartridge to a valid scratch (blank) data
cartridge. The drive then ejects the cartridge and exits Maintenance
Mode.
Note: If you inserted an invalid tape cartridge, error code J or 7
appears in the SCD. If you inserted a write-protected cartridge,
or the media has read-only compatibility, 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.
• If the tape drive creates the scratch tape successfully, it rewinds
and unloads the new tape, exits Maintenance Mode, and the
tape is ready to use.
• If the tape drive fails to create the scratch tape, it displays an
error code. To determine the error, see Appendix A, Error Codes
and Messages . The tape drive then unloads the FUP tape, and
exits Maintenance Mode after the cartridge is removed.
