5)Verify that the "Selftest" message is displayed on the DOC.

The "Selftest" message indicates that the power-on selftests are running. When the power-on selftests have run without errors, the drive will perform a test to determine which slots in the shuttle are occupied by media cartridges and then will load media number 1.

When the "1 Ready" message is displayed, the LF 6600 has passed the power-on selftests and has successfully loaded the LM 6000 media cartridge in slot 1.

6)Verify that the "Selftest" message displayed on the DOC is replaced by the "1 Ready" message.

7)Refer to the Modes of Operation section of this manual to familiarize yourself with the LF 6600 modes of operation.

The LF 6600 is now in the normal Operating mode, and is ready to be controlled and accessed by a host system.

MODES OF OPERATION

The LF 6600 has three modes of operation that are selectable from the DOC:

•Operating Mode

•Configuration Mode

•Test Mode

In Operating mode the host system can read and write data, and select and load media cartridges. In Configuration mode an operator can view a menu of parameters and select options for each parameter. Test mode invokes drive diagnostics to verify proper drive operation.

OPERATING MODE

The LF 6600 enters the Operating mode after being powered on and displays the "# Ready" message on the DOC. The DOC will display the appropriate messages listed in the next table during normal operation. To enter Operating mode if the drive is in Test mode, wait until the tests are completed and then press the LOAD/MENU switch. To enter Operating mode if the drive is in Configuration mode, press the LOAD/ MENU and the TEST/SELECT switches simultaneously.
