Appendix B. Performing Diagnostic and Maintenance Functions Table 9 describes each diagnostic and maintenance function that the 3580 Ultrium 2 Tape Drive can perform, gives its function code (which appears on the single-character display), and directs you to the instructions for performing the function. It is recommended that you use a scratch (blank) data cartridge for diagnostic testing. Table 9.

Appendix B. Performing Diagnostic and Maintenance
Functions
Table 9 describes each diagnostic and maintenance function that the 3580 Ultrium 2
Tape Drive can perform, gives its function code (which appears on the
single-character display), and directs you to the instructions for performing the
function. It is recommended that you use a scratch (blank) data cartridge for
diagnostic testing.
