Performing a system test
The System Test option cycles the autoloader through the process of loading,
calibrating, and unloading all cartridges in the carousel. Running a system test
verifies the basic operational soundness of the autoloader and tape drive. The
system test continues indefinitely until you press the CANCEL button. All regular
backup or restore operations are suspended while a system test is in progress.

Diagnostics appears on the top line of the LCD.
2Press the ENTER button. System Test appears.
3Press the Enter button to begin the test. The Test Count displays the number
of load-calibrate-unload cycles that have been completed during the test.
4Press the CANCEL button to end the test.
