HP StoreEver ESL G3 Tape Libraries - Manual (Page 163)

• Calibrates library and checks calibration offsets by comparing them to the default values for the
drives and I/E stations
• Checks magazine offsets
• Checks collected offset alignments for magazines, I/E stations, and drive sleds
• Checks joint alignment quality
Get/Put Test
The library alignment test performs the following tasks:
• Performs a Get/Put of a scratch tape in the top and bottom slots of each magazine that supports
the scratch tape media
• Performs a Get/Put of existing media if no scratch tape is found or if the top or bottom is occupied
• Moves a scratch tape to one row in each frame to test cross-frame alignment
• Uses a scratch tape to perform a Get/Put in each compatible drive
Accessor Assembly Test
The accessor assembly test performs the following tasks:
• Checks for the module terminator (the terminator on the LBX board in the last expansion module)
• Checks the joint alignment (makes sure all the joints on the X-axis are flush)
• Performs two passes around the library to ensure that the X-axis and Y-axis encoders are reading
correctly and the belts are not slipping
• Tests the calibration sensor
• Checks the alignment of the accessor to the control module
Picker Assembly Test
The picker assembly test performs the following tasks:
• Performs pivot left and right check
• Performs reach and retract five times
• If the LMC gets its side done, performs a Get/Put of the selected cell
• Scans the control module serial number to make sure the scanner is reading properly
Drive Sled Assembly Test
The drive sled assembly test performs the following tasks:
• Calibrates the drive sled
• Checks the quality of the sled fiducial
• Performs Get/Put to the drive
Scan Barcode Test
The scan barcode test performs the following tasks:
• Moves to selected cell coordinate and scans the barcode label
• Checks to ensure the label reads the same from top to bottom
• Verifies the quality of the barcode labels and checks to make sure barcode labels are in a readable
position
