Running Diagnostic Tests

HP Library & Tape Tools on page 146). For additional
troubleshooting procedures specific to your drive technology, see

Diagnostic tests let you exercise certain aspects of the library’s operation. Tests
are listed in Table 12 on page 115.
Caution Potential system problem: Diagnostic tests should be performed
only by trained personnel. Before performing the diagnostic
tests, be sure that the library and drives are inactive.
