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.
