Appendix Overview

This appendix describes the various diagnostic tests that TSMC performs. The testing tools and qualifiers are procedures suggested by Compaq to serve as a vendor return test for a variety of tape drives. In addition, you can run the tests to verify that the devices, libraries, and auto-changers are properly installed. There are two types of tests associated with the tape drives: Standard and Custom. The automation device tests consist of Standard and Extended tests. The Standard and Custom tests on the tape drives run an Initialization, Buffer test, Write/Read test, and a Filemark test.
