Figure 30. Elements in the Maintenance Menu 

Element Definition
Serial Number Informational shows the serial number of the tape library
SCSI Type Informational shows the type of SCSI interlace (DIFF for
differential and SE for single ended).
Re-initialize? Reinitializes the library and all axes.
Reset Statistics? Resets the operational retry' statistics to zero. The 'retry'
statistics are listed in the internal inventory/statistics table.
Reset Datums? Resets the datums to default settings (datums are the
reference points for positioning the robotic shuttle).
Load Code Tape? Puts the library in the proper state to update the tape
library firmware with a code update cartridge (see
'Updating the Tape Library Firmware Using a DLT Tape Cartridge').


The following procedure describes how to use the operator panel to re-initialize the tape library, reset the internal statistics to zero, reset the datums to the default settings, or update the library firmware with a code update cartridge.

Note: Make sure the front door key lock is in the 12 o'clock position, and change the Digital Linear Tape Library to the diagnostic off-line mode.
