Performing a Diagnostic or Maintenance Function
The sections that follow describe each diagnostic and maintenance function of the
3580 Ultrium 2 Tape Drive.
Function Code 1: Run Tape Drive Diagnostics
Function Code 1 runs tests that determine whether the 3580 Ultrium 2 Tape Drive
can properly load and unload cartridges, and read and write data. The diagnostic
takes approximately 20 minutes to complete and loops continually until you halt it.
To halt the diagnostic, press the unload button. The diagnostic will continue to the
end of its loop and then stop. The drive then exits 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.

Make sure that no cartridge is in the drive.

the unload button and the drive will not be placed in maintenance
mode. To continue placing the drive in maintenance mode, perform the
preceding step.

Press and hold the unload button for 3 or more seconds, then release it to select
the function. Immediately after the following message displays, insert a scratch
(blank) data cartridge that is not write-protected (or the tape drive exits
maintenance mode).
Note: Due to the Power-On Self Test that is running, the message may take 90
seconds to display.
