Dump

This

menu

item

allows

a

drive

dump

to

be

saved

to

the

host

computer.

Once

the

Save

Drive

button

is

clicked,

the

user

will

have

the

option

of

saving

the

drive

dump

to

their

hard

drive.

The

progress

status

for

the

drive

dump

is

shown

on

the

System

Status

screen

to

the

right

of

the

main

Web

User

Interface

screen.

Note:

Ensure

that

all

the

pop-up

facilities

on

the

web

browser

are

set

to

enable

pop-up

boxes

to

appear.

For

example

on

the

Microsoft

Internet

Service

Library:

Perform

Diagnostics

Note:

When

running

the

“System

Test”,

the

library

must

contain

at

least

the

same

number

of

data

cartridges

as

there

are

drives

in

that

library.

For

example,

if

your

library

has

4

drives

installed,

you

must

have

4

or

more

data

cartridges

in

the

library

prior

to

the

start

of

the

test.

If

there

are

fewer

data

cartridges

than

drives

in

the

library,

an

error

message

”Slot

Empty”

will

occur,

and

the

test

will

not

complete

successfully.

This

page

provides

the

system

administrator

with

general

tests

to

verify

the

usability

and

reliability

of

the

library.

The

“System

Test”

will

use

resident

data

cartridges

to

test

the

load

and

unload

capability

of

the

drives,

and

ensure

that

the

library

mechanics

are

working

satisfactorily.

No

data

will

be

written

to

the

cartridges

and

the

cartridges

will

be

returned

to

their

normal

slot

location.

The

“Slot

To

Slot”

test

will

move

each

resident

data

cartridge

from

one

slot

to

another,
