v If no error is detected, the test will loop and begin again. To stop the loop, press and hold the unload button for several seconds. When the loop ends, 0 temporarily appears in the single-character display. The drive rewinds and unloads the tape, partially ejects the cartridge, then exits maintenance mode. The solid amber status light turns off and the following message displays: Passed! Tape Unloading followed by: Cartridge Unloading In Progress then: Ultrium Tape Drive Drive Empty v If an error is detected, the status light flashes amber, a message similar to the following displays, and the tape drive posts an error code to the single-character display. ERROR! Drive/Media Error To determine the error, locate the code in Table 6 on page 39. The tape drive unloads the tape cartridge, exits maintenance mode, and displays the following message: Ultrium Tape Drive Drive Empty Note: To reset the drive after an error occurs, cycle power (turn it off, then on again). 7. Power-off the 3580 Tape Drive. Step 8. Installing the SCSI Host Adapter Card (if required) If there are no other devices attached to your host, you may need to install a SCSI host adapter card in the host. To determine whether your host needs an LVD/SE or HVD/DIFF SCSI host adapter card, examine the label between the two SCSI connectors at the rear of the 3580 Tape Drive: SCSI LVD/SE v If appears on the label, your host needs an LVD/SE SCSI host adapter card. SCSI DIFF v If appears on the label, your host needs an HVD/DIFF SCSI host adapter card. To install an adapter, refer to the instructions that accompany it, as well as to the section about SCSI card installation in your host's documentation.
