TS2900 Tape Autoloader Setup, Operator, and Service Guide
Figure 3-33. Cartridge orientation
The Auto Cleaning function can be enabled only if the number of active slots is
less than the maximum available slots. The active slots are always enabled
starting with the lowest numerical cartridge position number in the magazine,
and are located at the drive end of the cartridge magazine. Place cleaning
cartridges in inactive cartridge positions for use by the auto cleaning function.
Do not store data or cleaning cartridges in the I/O Station (Column 5, Tier 1) if
the I/O Station is enabled.
3. Put the magazine back into the library and wait for the library inventory to
complete before proceeding to the next step.
4. Press Cancel to return to the top level menu.
Verifying Library and Drive Operation
To verify the library is operating correctly:
1. From the top menu screen on the Operator Panel, press the Minus key to select
Service , and press Enter.
2. Press the Minus key to select Diagnostics , and press Enter.
3. Select Run Library Verify , and press Enter. Follow the on-screen instructions.
The library performs a Power ON Self Test (POST), the normal test sequence
performed when the library is turned ON, to ensure that the library hardware is
functional. Then, the library tests communications with the tape drives over the
internal bus. If there is a cartridge in a drive, the library moves the cartridge to its
home position, or to the I/O Station if the home position is not known.
4. When prompted, insert a customer supplied scratch cartridge into the I/O
Station.
When the scratch cartridge is loaded, the bar code reader reads the bar code label
on the cartridge and stores it for later comparison. The cartridge is then moved to
the tape drive, where the drive runs its own write/read/verify test. When the
test is done, the library tells the drive to eject the cartridge, and then the cartridge
is moved back to the I/O Station. The bar code is read again and compared with
the value stored earlier.
5. When prompted, remove the cartridge from the I/O Station.
