Bringing the Tape Drives Online After Installation

4. Observe the progress of the power-up self-test on the ACL or drive front panel.

See ACL Power-Up Sequence on page 3-41 or Tape Drive Power-Up Sequence

on page 3-41.

5. If the drive CRU is attached to a 3216 tape controller or a ServerNet/DA, verify that

power is applied to the BEB (the green LED on the BEB is lit when power is on).

6. Check the device ID of the drive. See Checking and Setting the Device ID on

page 3-41.

7. If the drive CRU has an ACL, install the cleaning cartridge as described in Installing

the Cleaning Cartridge in the ACL on page 3-44.

8. Assuming that the drive has been installed and configured, bring up the path to the

system using either the PUP UP command or SCF START command.

For NonStop Himalaya K-series servers, use PUP as follows:

1>PUP

#UP $TAPE1

#EXIT

For NonStop Himalaya S-series servers, use SCF as follows:

1>SCF

->START $TAPE1

->EXIT

For more information about using PUP and SCF, see the Peripheral Utility Program

(PUP) Reference Manual and the SCF Reference Manual for the Storage

Subsystem, respectively.

9. Run TMDS diagnostics (for NonStop Himalaya K-series servers) or the TSM

Service Application or SCF commands (for NonStop Himalaya S-series servers) to

ensure the integrity of the modular tape subsystem.

TMDS highlights are provided in The TMDS TAPE Subsystem (NonStop Himalaya

K-Series Servers) on page 5-1.

Available TSM tests are described in Testing a Tape Device on page 3-46.

SCF commands are described in Starting and Testing the Tape Drives (NonStop

Himalaya S-Series Servers) on page 3-46 as well as in Section 4, Operating the

Cartridge Tape Drive and ACL.

Caution. You must install the cleaning cartridge before operating the ACL. If no cleaning

cartridge is installed, a CHK F8 check code appears on the ACL front panel when the

automatic cleaning routine is activated. See CHK F8 Check Code on an ACL

on page 4-28.
