Table 1-4. Operator Panel Switches
Name Description
Unload switch Pressing this switch causes the tape to rewind and unload,
ending with the tape ejected and retrievable.
If this switch is pressed during a write operation, the drive
attempts to write the remaining data before it unloads. A
display of “UnWrxxxx” (meaning Unwritten Data, where xxxx
is a fault symptom code) means that the attempt failed and
some data remains unwritten to tape.
Pressing the Unload switch again causes the loss of this
data. For the host to save the unwritten data, the operator
must issue the following SCSI command sequence before
pressing Unload again:
Recover Buffer Data
IPL switch Pressing the indented switch causes Initial Program Load
(IPL), identical to the program initiations that take place
automatically after power-on sequencing is complete. Use
for resetting drive when necessary. “IPL Pend” (IPL Pending)
is displayed for one second when this switch is pressed.
During IPL, the following are normally displayed in
sequence:
“LOAD XXXX” (XXXX = SCSI, FBCN)
“LOAD CC” (Load Common Controller Code)
“LOAD SERVO” (Load Servo Code)
“Start Init” (Start Initialization)
