For information on the latest versions of firmware, see the Dell support website at http://support.dell.com. Selecting a Diagnostic or Maintenance Function The tape drive can run diagnostics, test write and read functions, test a suspect tape cartridge, and perform other diagnostic and maintenance functions. The drive must be in maintenance mode to perform these functions. To place the drive in maintenance mode and select a diagnostic or maintenance function, see the Diagnostic and Maintenance Function Codes and Descriptions table. Note: The host interface on this tape drive is Serial Attached SCSI (SAS). This interface presents SCSI protocol to the tape drive. In this User's Guide, references to SCSI relate to SCSI protocol, not the serial interface that it is transmitted over. Note: You cannot perform maintenance functions concurrently with read or write operations. While in maintenance mode, the tape drive does not accept SCSI commands from the system. Close all tape drive applications before entering maintenance mode. 5-1
