The following functions are available under the dIAG MENU:

dSP FW

When executed, this function displays the revision of the operating firmware used by FastStor

 

microprocessors and the drive.

SIGN ON

Use this function if your application software does not support FastStor, but does support the

 

SCALAR library.

CHG MOdE

Use this function to change the Mode of Operation from/to RANDOM or SEQUENTIAL.

CYCLE TEST

This function allows you to verify the functionality of the FastStor robotics. CYCLE TEST

 

exercises the FastStor robotics by executing a sequence of pick and place operations, moving the

 

cartridges between the slots and the drive.

CLEAN dRV

The CLEAN DRV function permits you to clean the drive head manually. Use this function if

 

your application software does not support an auto cleaning cycle, and you do not want to

 

dedicate slot 7 to the FastStor AUTOCLEAN feature.

AUTOCLEAN

AUTOCLEAN provides an automatic cleaning cycle. Use AUTOCLEAN only if your

 

application software does not support an auto cleaning cycle. Slot 7 is dedicated to the cleaning

 

cartridge whenever AUTOCLEAN is enabled, reducing the FastStor data capacity to 6 tapes.

LOAd FW

When executed, this function allows you to upgrade the FastStor formware via the SCSI bus.

dSP COUNTS

FastStor keeps track of how many times certain events have occurred. The dSP COUNTS

 

function returns these numbers to the display.

UPG dRV FW

This function allows you to upgrade the drive firmware using a FUP tape.
