Table 3-3 Internal Tests
Test Name Description
Internal Tests are normally for service use only.
Some of the following tests can corrupt your data if not completed properly.
Those tests are noted with a “Used by service...” alert. Do not run these tests.
If you are in contact with your service representative, you may be requested to
run one or more of the remaining tests as part of the early phases of a diagnostic
procedure. Also, you may receive a control panel message to “RUN ISTAT
TEST
” which, the troubleshooting table explains, means to run the INIT
ELEM STATUS test. It is for these two, limited situations that the instructions
for running internal tests is included in this user guide and why the tests are
described.
EXCHANGE
DEMO Used by service personnel only. Do not run this test if
the jukebox contains disks with file system data on
them.
This test moves randomly-chosen optical disks to
random storage slot locations. This test displays FAIL
if there are no disks in the jukebox or if all storage slots
are full. For best results, the jukebox should contain as
many disks as there are drives, plus two additional
disks. The transport and mailslot must be empty.
INIT MECHANICS Runs the FIND PLUNGE HOME, FIND VERTICAL
HOME, FIND XLATE HOME
, and INIT ELEM
STATUS tests. Each test is run one time per test loop.
INIT ELEM
STATUS Physically scans the entire unit to determine which
storage slots contain disks and if the drives contain
disks.
NOTE: This test appears as “ISTAT TEST” in all
control panel error messages.
