Warning

We highly recommend that these diagnostic functions be used only by a qualified service technician (or on the instruction of a qualified technician). Some of these functions assume that the unit has been set up correctly and thus many of the normal built-in safety checks are turned off. Misusing these diagnostic functions without the normal safety checks could result in improper operation (or even damage to media or the Scalar Library).

Drive Type

Provides a listing of the type of drives installed in the Scalar Library system. Although the Scalar Library is only available with Quantum DLT drives at this time, this may change in the future.
