If the copy operation fails, an error code appears in the SCD. To determine the error, locate the code in Error
Codes and Messages. The tape drive unloads the tape cartridge and exits Maintenance Mode after the cartridge is
removed.
Function Code 9: Display Error Code Log
Function Code 9 displays the last ten error codes, one at a time (the codes are ordered; the most recent is presented first and
the oldest is presented last). If there are no errors in the log, function code 0 displays in the Single-character Display (SCD) and
exits Maintenance Mode.
1. Place the drive in Maintenance Mode. For instructions, see Entering Maintenance Mode.
2. Press the Unload Button once per second until 9 appears in the SCD. (If you cycle past the code that you want, press the
Unload Button once per second until the code reappears.)
3. Press the Unload Button, then release it to view the most recent error code.
4. Press and release the Unload Button again to view successive error codes. Let two to three seconds pass between each
depression. The Green Ready LED and Amber Fault LED will flash On/Off once for each successive error code. The SCD
will display 0 when all the error codes have been displayed.
5. After viewing all error codes, exit this function by pressing the Unload Button again. The SCD will display 0 and exit
Maintenance Mode.
Function Code A: Clear Error Code Log
Function Code A erases the contents of the error code log.
1. Place the drive in Maintenance Mode. For instructions, see Entering Maintenance Mode.
2. Press the Unload Button once per second until A appears in the SCD. (If you cycle past the code that you want, 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. A flashes in the SCD,
followed by 0 . The tape drive erases all errors from the error code log and exits Maintenance Mode.
Function Code C: Insert Cartridge into Tape Drive
This function cannot be selected by itself, but is part of other maintenance functions (such as Run Tape Drive Diagnostics and
Create FMR Tape) that require a tape cartridge to be inserted.
Function Code E: Test Cartridge & Media
Function Code E performs tests that determine whether a suspect cartridge and its magnetic tape are acceptable. This test
runs 10 loops at approximately 15 minutes per loop.
Press the Unload Button to stop the diagnostics and exit maintenance mode. Pressing the Unload Button once will stop the test
at the end of the current test loop. Pressing the Unload Button twice will stop the test immediately. Wait for the drive to rewind
the tape and unload the cartridge.
Attention: When you perform this test, data on the suspect tape will be overwritten.
Note: If you inserted an invalid tape cartridge (Gen1 or WORM media, for example), error code 7 appears in the SCD. If you
inserted a write-protected cartridge, or the media has read-only compatibility (Gen2 media, for example), 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.
1. Place the drive in Maintenance Mode. For instructions, see Entering Maintenance Mode.
