Library Operation
Running an Internal Test
FIND PLUNGE
HOME
Runs mechanism recalibration, determines the reference points in the picker
travel path, and tests the picker. This test assumes that the mechanics and servo
system are functional. No tape cartridges required.
FIND VERT HOME Recalibrates the vertical position and verifies that the vertical path is clear. No
tape cartridges required.
FIND XLATE
HOME
Calibrates the translate position. No tape cartridges required.
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.
EMPTY DRIVES
Do not run test if library contains customer data cartridges.
Moves cartridges out of the drive mechanisms and returns them to their
home storage slot locations if the locations are known, otherwise the
cartridges are placed into the first available empty storage slot.
EMPTY PICKER
Do not run test if library contains customer data cartridges.
Moves a tape cartridge from the cartridge transport mechanism to its
home storage slot location if that location is known, otherwise the
cartridge is placed into the first available empty storage slot.
FILL PICKER
Do not run test if library contains customer data cartridges.
Moves a tape cartridge into the cartridge transport mechanism from the
first storage slot containing a cartridge.
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. This setting should
always be used under normal library operation.
PLUNGE 1/2 SPD Allows the cartridge transport mechanics to run at half speed.
