Basic Operations

4. Wait until the drive successfully completes IPL. Note the following:
• The “ CC DIAGS ” and “ ASIA DIAGS ” messages indicate that the IPL
diagnostics are active. These messages require no action on your part.
• The drive powers on automatically to online mode if drive is operable
and configuration error/s were not encountered.
• The drive powers on to offline mode if a configuration error was
encountered and the “
Fix_CfgErr ” message displays; see note.
• “ Memory Err ” or “ Boot Fai l” may be displayed if an error occurs
early in the IPL sequence. These errors cause the drive to hang; see
note.
Note: If any error displays, go to Table 7-2 on page 7-3 for a description of
corrective action.
5. Inform the operator when the drive is available and can receive I/O from
the host(s).
Power-off the Drive
Note: Refer to Chapter 5, “Cartridge Scratch Loader,” for instructions to power-
off a CSL.
1. Make sure I/O is not active to the drive from any host(s).
2. Unload a tape cartridge, if loaded, and remove it from drive.
3. Power-off the drive:
a. For a desktop unit and/or rack-mountable drive tray, set the Power
switch on the rear panel to OFF.
b. For a library drive power supply that has a Power switch, set the Power
switch to OFF.
c. For a library drive power supply that does not have a Power switch,
disconnect the power supply power cord.
Reset the Drive
Pressing the IPL switch resets the drive and reloads drive firmware into drive
memory. (The same process occurs automatically at power-on).
To reset a drive that is already powered on:
1. Make sure a cartridge tape is not loaded in the drive.
