    Main Menu -> Administration -> Run Test
Use the following procedure to run internal tests of autoloader functions.
Table 1 describes these tests.
o  From 'Administration', select [More] to display additional
administrative options. Select the 'Run Test' menu.
o  From 'Run Test', use the [-] or [+] key to view available tests.
o  Select [OK] to select the test.
o  Select the number of times this test will run (if more than one
cycle is available and desired).
o  Select [Run] to start the test cycle. All test results are
displayed at the conclusion of the test cycle.
NOTE: Select [Stop] to abort a running test. The current test cycle
completes and the test stops. Stopping the test may take a few
minutes to complete.

Table 1 : Front Panel Diagnostic Tests
[o] Check Inventory
Physically scans the entire autoloader to determine the location, status,
and barcode information of tapes.
[o] Recalibrate Loader
Performs the power-up self-tests. Each test runs one time per test
loop. This test recalibrates the mechanics and clears hard errors,
but not the hard error log.
[o] Test Lateral Motion
Moves the transport assembly to a random slot. No tape is required.
[o] Test Magazine Moves
Moves a tape from a random slot to an empty, random slot, and then
returns it to the original location.
[o] Wellness Test
Moves a tape from a random slot to an empty drive and back to its original
location.
[o] Rewind Media
Rewinds the tape in the drive.
CAUTION: Do not run this test if the drive contains a tape that is
receiving data from the host.
[o] Lock Transport
Locks the transport assembly in place to allow for shipping the Autoloader.
			
NOTE: The only way to unlock the transport after you run this
test is to run the Unlock Transport test or power cycle
the autoloader.
			
[o] Unlock Transport
Unlocks the transport assembly if you want to unlock the transport without
power cycling the autoloader. The transport must have already been locked
to use this test.
[o] Back Magazine Removal
Moves the transport so that you can access the back magazine for drive
upgrades.
[o] Test Transport Comm
Exercises the internal infra-red communications path between the autoloader
controller and the transport micro-controller.   Reports the  health of
this link. If the test passes, the infra-red communication link is good.
[o] Show All Sensors
Dynamically displays the state of the door sensor. To toggle the door
sensor, open and close the door.
[o] Demonstration
Selects a random full storage slot and moves the tape to the drive.
The test locates a full slot, a full drive, an empty slot, and then
performs an exchange.
CAUTION: Run an inventory check from the host backup application
after performing this test since the tapes will be in
a different order.
