Library Operation

Running an Internal Test

REWIND MEDIA

Service personnel use only. Do not run this test if the library
contains tape cartridges containing actual customer data.

Rewinds the tape in the drive(s) and opens the solenoid in the drive
handle, which allows the tape to be removed from the drive by lifting the
handles. This option removes tapes from the drives If the picker
malfunctions.

CLEAR SOFT LOG

Sets the soft error log to zero.

CLEAR HARD
LOG

Sets the hard error log to zero.

PLUNGE FULL
SPD

Allows the cartridge transport mechanics to run at full speed. Always use
under normal library operation.

PLUNGE 1/2 SPD

Service personnel use only.

Allows the cartridge transport mechanics to run at half speed.

SENSOR
TRANSLATE

Tests the horizontal path that the cartridge transport mechanism follows
when moving from one stack of tape cartridges to another. Displays ON or
OFF. If OFF displays, the sensor is blocked. (This display is automatically
updated if the sensor status changes.) Requires the use of one tape
cartridge.

SENSORS
MAGAZINE

The display shows

M1 1 M2 1 M3 1

. Each “1” indicates that the caddy is

in place. If a “0” displays, the caddy has not been inserted into the library.
(This display is automatically updated if the sensor status changes.)

SENSORS
STARWARS

0 0

displays.

Each

0

indicates one path that the cartridge transport mechanism follows

in front of each stack of tape cartridges. If the path is clear,

0

displays; if

the path is blocked (for example, because a cartridge is not inserted fully
into its storage slot),

*

displays. (This display is automatically updated if

the sensor status changes.)

VERTICAL
ENCODER

Moves the cartridge transport mechanism down, back up a short distance,
then back down. The last time the transport mechanism is moved down
the number of encoder counts is verified. Returns PASS/FAIL. No tape
cartridges are required.
