Table 5. Functions that the Unload Button completes (continued)
Unload Button Function
How to Initiate the Function
Exit maintenance mode
Press Unload once per second to increment the display character until
0
displays.
Then, press and hold Unload for 3 seconds. Maintenance mode is exited when the
Ready light is On and the SCD becomes blank.
Force a drive memory dump
(part of the maintenance
mode)
Attention:
If the drive detects a permanent error and displays an error code, it
automatically forces a drive memory dump (also known as a save of the firmware
trace). If you force a drive memory dump, the existing memory dump is overwritten
and data is lost. After you force a drive memory dump, do not turn off the power to
the drive or you might lose the memory dump data.
Choose one of these procedures:
v
If the drive is in maintenance mode (Ready light is flashing and Fault light is On
for Maintenance mode), refer to “Function code 4: Force a drive dump” on page 25.
v
If the drive is in operating mode (Ready light is On or flashing), press and hold
Unload
for 10 seconds.
If captured memory dump data exists, the drive places it into a memory dump area
(for information about retrieving the data, see “Procedure 1: Determining firmware
level and capturing drive dump” on page 59).
Reset the drive
Press and hold Unload until the drive begins the reset procedure (Fault light turns on
when reset starts).
Note:
If a tape cartridge is loaded in the drive, it unloads the tape. Repeat the "Reset
the drive" procedure after the tape is unloaded. The drive saves a memory dump of
the current drive state, then reboots to allow communication. Do not cycle power as
this action erases the contents of the memory dump.
Inserting a tape cartridge
To insert a tape cartridge:
1.
Ensure that the drive is powered-on.
2.
Ensure that the write-protect switch on the tape cartridge is properly set (see “Write-Protect switch”
on page 43).
3.
Grasp the cartridge so that the write-protect switch faces you (see
▌1▐
4.
Slide the cartridge into the tape load compartment.
Note:
a.
If the cartridge is already in an ejected position and you want to reinsert it, remove the cartridge,
then insert it again.
b.
If the cartridge is already loaded and you cycle the power (turn it off, then on), the tape reloads.
c.
Do not attempt to load a cartridge when the drive is in Maintenance mode until the drive requests
it.
