Testing System Components
Using the
System
Exerciser
To use the system exerciser, follow these steps:
1.
To test a drive, insert media in the SCSI devices on your
system that support removable media. For example:
•
If your system has an RRD42 compact disc drive, insert a
disc.
•
If your system has a TZK10 tape drive, insert a TZK10
tape cartridge.
•
If your system has a TLZ06 tape drive, insert a TLZ06
tape cartridge.
•
If your system has an RX26 diskette drive, insert a
formatted diskette.
If the diskette is not formatted, the test will fail. To
format the diskette, enter the following command:
>>> INIT/DENSITY=xx
Return
Where xx represents:
ED (Extra density)
DD (Double density)
HD (High density)
The diskette in the drive must match the density that
you specify with the INIT command. If you have a
diskette that is different from what you specify in the
command, the command fails and the following message
displays:
Invalid media format
2.
Before halting or turning off your system, see the operating
system documentation for shutdown procedures. If your
system is part of a networked work group, do not turn off,
halt, or restart the system without notifying work group
members.
3.
Put the system in console mode by pressing the halt button
behind the front door of the system unit.
4.
Enter the following command:
>>> TEST 100
Return
