has read-only compatibility (e.g., Gen2 media), error code
appears in the
SCD. Press the Unload Button. The tape drive unloads the cartridge and
exits Maintenance Mode after the cartridge is removed.
1. Place the drive in Maintenance mMode. For instructions, see “Entering
Maintenance Mode” on page D-27.
2. Press the Unload Button once per second until
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
.
4. Insert a scratch (blank) data cartridge. The SCD changes to a flashing
and
the tape drive runs the tests.
Note: If you inserted an invalid tape cartridge (e.g. Gen 1, WORM media, or
non-FMR cartridge), error code
appears in the SCD and the amber
Fault status light flashes. If you inserted a write-protected cartridge, or
the media has read-only compatibility (e.g., Gen2 media), error code
appears in the SCD. Press the Unload Button. The tape drive unloads the
cartridge and exits Maintenance Mode after the cartridge is removed.
v If no error is detected, the diagnostic will exit Maintenance Mode,
temporarily appears in the SCD, and the drive returns to Operational Mode
(SCD blank, Green Ready/Activity status light ON, and the Amber Fault
status light is OFF)
v If an error is detected, the Fault status light flashes amber and the drive
posts an error code to the SCD. To determine the error, locate the code in
“Drive Error Codes” on page D-41. 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 = 10 minutes per loop
Total Number of Loops = 10
Function Code
performs tests to ensure that the tape drive's head and
tape-carriage mechanics work correctly.
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 D-36. If the Write Performance Test fails,
replace the media.
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
