Hardware Exercises
This chapter describes hardware exercises you can perform from the operator panel:
Performing diagnostics on the library
Configuring ports for diagnostics
Many of the tasks described in this chapter may be necessary if you want to troubleshoot library hardware operations.
Performing diagnostics
This section describes how to perform diagnostics using the Demo Menu and Diagnostics Menu from the operator panel. Both of these menus are available from the Maintenance Menu. The Demo Menu provides options for running the library in a continuous demo mode, where the CHM randomly moves cartridges between slots and tape drives. The Diagnostics Menu provides options for performing specific CHM movements.
Note: You can also perform diagnostics using the library’s resident diagnostic program (see page 124). This program also allows you to upgrade to new library firmware and print a diagnostic listing. For information, see Exabyte 440 and Exabyte 480 Maintenance.
