Running the ValueLoader System Test 3
The System Test option cycles the ValueLoader through the
process of loading and unloading all cartridges in the carousel.
Running a System Test verifies the operational soundness of both
the ValueLoader and tape drive. The System Test continues
indefinitely until you press the
[Cancel] button. All regular backup
and restore operations are suspended while a System Test is in
progress.
To run a System Test:
1 From the Home Screen or main menu, press the [+] or [-] button
until “Diagnostics” appears on the top line of the LCD screen.
2 Press the [Enter] button to select. “System Test” appears on the
LCD screen.
3 Press the [Enter] button to begin the test.
Note: After a firmware update, the firmware revision
displayed on the LCD is not changed until the
ValueLoader is power cycled.
Note: At least one cartridge must be present in the carousel in
order to run System Test.
