Remote Management Unit Diagnostic Tests

Because some of the diagnostic tests require you to insert a cartridge into the autoloader, you cannot perform these tests from a remote location. You can perform the following diagnostic tests from the Remote Management Unit:

Loader - Picker Test

Loader - Magazine Test

Loader - Inventory Test

Random Moves

NOTE: The Remote Management Unit allows you to request all diagnostic tests, but any tests that require a cartridge to be inserted will time-out unless someone manually inserts the cartridge at the appropriate time.

Diagnostics Using the Remote Management Unit

Many tests can be run using the Remote Management Unit. To perform the Remote Management Unit diagnostic tests:

1.Open a Web browser and connect to the autoloader. The Remote Management Unit main menu appears.

2.Click the Error Logs and Diagnostics heading. A login window appears.

3.Type an Administrator user name and a password, and then click Enter. The Diagnostics submenu appears.

4.Select the test you wish to perform from the Diagnostics drop-down menu, and then click submit.

The selected diagnostic test runs. While the test is running, you can view the status of the test. To view the status, from the View Diagnostic Test Progress section, click View Status.
