Standard and Extended Tests

The Standard and Extended tests examine various features of automation devices. The time required to perform these tests varies, depending on the devices. See Appendix A for descriptions of the tests.

CAUTION:  Media partitioning is a feature for ESL and MSL libraries in which multiple generations of DLT drives (such as DLT 35/70 and SDLT) and media reside in the same library. If you use media partitioning on an ESL or MSL library, DO NOT run the Standard or Extended tests for the library. Running these tests can result in the incorrect media type being inserted into a DLT drive, causing damage to the drive or media.
