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). 1. Place the drive in maintenance mode. For instructions, see "Entering Maintenance Mode" on page 15. 2. Press the Unload Button once per second until 9 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 view the most recent error codes. 4. Press the Unload Button again to view successive error codes. Let two to three seconds pass between each depression. 5. After viewing all error codes, exit this function and maintenance mode by pressing the Unload Button again. 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" on page 15. 2. Press the Unload Button once per second until A 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. A flashes in the SCD, followed by 0 . The tape drive erases all errors from the error code log. The tape drive 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 Approximate Run Time = 15 minutes per loop Total Number of Loops = 10 Function Code E performs tests that determine whether a suspect cartridge and its magnetic tape are acceptable. The diagnostic loops ten times. To stop the diagnostic and exit maintenance mode, press the Unload Button once to abort the test. 22 IBM 400/800GB LTO3 Tape Drive User's Guide
