Table 5-1. Diagnostic and Maintenance Function Codes and Descriptions Function Code 1 - Run Tape Drive Diagnostics Causes the tape drive to run self tests. Attention: Insert only a scratch data cartridge for this test. Data on the cartridge will be overwritten. 1. Ensure that there is no cartridge in the drive. 2. Press the eject button three times within an interval of 2 seconds. The fault LED becomes solid amber, which means that the drive is in maintenance mode. 3. Press the eject button once per second until 1 appears in the single-character display. If you cycle past 1 , continue to press the eject button until it reappears. 4. To select the function, press and hold the eject button for 3 seconds. After you select the function, 1 flashes, the drive runs diagnostics for approximately 90 seconds, then C flashes. When C flashes, the drive is waiting for a cartridge. 5. Within 60 seconds, insert a scratch data cartridge that is not write-protected. Note: If you wait longer than 60 seconds to load a cartridge, the drive automatically exits maintenance mode. If you insert a write-protected cartridge, the tape drive displays a P and retains the cartridge until it is manually ejected. When the cartridge is ejected and removed, the tape drive exits maintenance mode. After you insert the cartridge, 1 flashes and the test begins. v The diagnostic test takes approximately 5 minutes to run. The tape drive will unload and load the cartridge during the test. Do not try to remove the cartridge when it unloads the first time. Wait for the test to complete. v If the diagnostic completes successfully, the cartridge ejects, the single-character display flashes a 0 , then goes blank, and the drive exits maintenance mode. If the diagnostic fails, the fault LED flashes and an error code displays. When the cartridge is manually ejected and removed, the tape drive automatically exits maintenance mode. v To halt the diagnostic and terminate the test, press the eject button twice anytime during the test. The drive acknowledges the request by slowing the flash rate of the F on the single-character display from twice per second to once per second. The tape drive rewinds and unloads the cartridge and then exits maintenance mode.
