(Note: Remove all cartridges and magazine before proceeding.)
Step Action Resulting Display
1 Press and hold TEST + UNLOAD OFFLINE
2 Release TEST + UNLOAD DIAGMODE
3 Press START SETTING
4 Press TEST 70: S.TAR
5 Press TEST TARGID: n (n = current SCSI ID)

31.3 How do I determine the microcode (firmware) level on my M2488x tape drive?
STEP ACTION DISPLAY
------ ------------- ----------------
1 TEST+UNLOAD DIAGMODE
2 START SETTING
3 START LOADCODE
4 START INQUIRY
5 TEST REV LEVL
6 TEST REV="7.B.01"
(or whatever code level is installed on the drive)
31.4 How can I load new microcode (firmware) on my M2488x tape drive?
Fujitsu M2488 Microcode (Firmware) Download Instructions
STEP ACTION DISPLAY
------ ------------- ----------------
1 TEST+UNLOAD OFFLINE (release keys --> DIAGMODE)
2 START SETTING
3 START LOADCODE
4 TEST PLEASE INSERT CODE IMAGE TAPE
5 Insert Firmware Tape COPYING IMAGE (approximately 1 minute)
6 (after load completed) CODE LOAD COMPLETE, SWITCH POWER OFF
7 RESET repeat until drive enters SELFTEST
8 POWER OFF
9 POWER ON New firmware now active
NOTES:
1. Because the tape drive will have to be powered off/on during this
process, the host computer should not be active -- this process
will disrupt the SCSI bus.
2. If there is an outstanding SCSI command or if there is a tape loaded
in the tape drive, then the OFFLINE mode cannot be entered.
31.5 How do I determine the interface type on my M2488x tape drive?
STEP ACTION DISPLAY
------ ------------- ----------------
1 TEST+UNLOAD DIAGMODE
2 START SETTING
3 START LOADCODE
4 START INQUIRY
5 TEST REV LEVEL
6 START IPM TYPE
7 TEST "IPM=SINGLE-ENDED" or
"IPM=DIFFERENTIAL"
8 TEST IPM TYPE
9 RESET repeat until drive enters SELFTEST
31.6 How can I run a SELF-TEST on my M2488x tape drive?
Start all self-test procedures without a tape loaded in the tape drive.
Have a scratch tape ready for the WRITE/READ portion of the test.
STEP ACTION RESULTING DISPLAY
----- ------------------- --------------------------------
1 TEST+UNLOAD DIAGMODE
2 TEST CE MODE
3 TEST RUN MTC
4 START RUN MTU
5 START RUN COMB
6 TEST WRITE
7 START READ
8 START ALL
9 TEST CNT0001
10 TEST MOUNT WORKING CARTRIDGE
The test will run through the complete cycle as many times as indicated by the count (set in STEP 9)
or until an error occurs.
