Diagnostic and Maintenance Functions

Quantum LTO-5 HH SAS Model C User’s Guide

1

Place the drive in Maintenance Mode. For instructions, se

Entering 

Maintenance Mode

 on page 45.

2

Press the Unload Button once per second until F 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 the function. The SCD changes to a flashing C.

4

Insert a scratch (blank) data cartridge. The SCD changes to a 

flashing F and the tape drive runs the tests.

• 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, 0 temporarily appears in the 

SCD, and the tape drive exits Maintenance Mode.

• 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 A, Error Codes and Messages

. 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 H: Test 

Head

Approximate Run Time = 12 minutes per loop
Total Number of Loops = 10
Function Code H performs tests to ensure that the tape drive's head and 

tape-carriage mechanics work correctly.
Once you begin this test, the diagnostic begins the loop sequence. Time 

the first loop by pressing the Unload Button once to stop the diagnostic 

after the completion of the first loop, then record the time it takes for 

the test to complete. Compare the recorded time with the Approximate 

Run Time above. If the test runs successfully but the execution time is 

significantly longer than the Approximate Run Time, run 

Function Code 

F: Write Performance Test

 on page 56. If the Write Performance Test 

fails, replace the media and exit maintenance mode.
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.
