The 5155/5159 Digital Linear Tape FRU and TMDS for K-series Servers  
10-6
10.3.1 Recent Changes 
This subsection provides information about the current TMDS 
TAPE subsystem. 
10.3.1.1 The ALIGN Command 
The ALIGN command is no longer available. 
10.3.1.2 The FLASH Command 
The FLASH ON command flashes (on and off) the internal yellow 
locator LED inside the tape drive BEB. (The tape drive must be 
attached to a 3216 tape controller.) This command is useful when 
Compaq customer engineers need to verify the location of a faulty 
BEB. The FLASH OFF command turns off the LED. For a 
description of each of the BEB LEDs, see “Replacing a BEB”. 
Note. The 3216 controller can also light the locator LED, without 
flashing it, if the controller detects an error.
