xxxx:Dmp y This message alternates with the preceding message if<br />

The Menu switch is one of the two switches used to manipulate the <strong>9840</strong> <strong>Tape</strong><br />
<strong>Drive</strong> menu. Use the Menu switch and Select switch to access applicable menus.<br />
Pressing the Menu switch accesses the menu system, the menus, and submenus.<br />
The menu system enables the operator to perform a limited set of<br />
operations on the <strong>9840</strong> <strong>Tape</strong> <strong>Drive</strong>.<br />
Pressing the Menu switch in normal operation mode causes the Online/Offline<br />
menu to appear. For most operator operations, such as viewing the <strong>9840</strong> <strong>Tape</strong><br />
<strong>Drive</strong> configuration or its software release level, the <strong>9840</strong> <strong>Tape</strong> <strong>Drive</strong> can<br />
remain online. For other operations, including those performed by authorized<br />
service personnel, the <strong>9840</strong> <strong>Tape</strong> <strong>Drive</strong> must be placed offline. See Chapter 4,<br />
“Menus,” for more details.<br />
The Select switch is one of the two switches used to manipulate the <strong>9840</strong> <strong>Tape</strong><br />
<strong>Drive</strong> menu. Use the Select switch and Menu switch to access applicable menus.<br />
Pressing the Select switch while in the main menu selects one of the following<br />
choices depending on the structure of the main menu:<br />
• A direct configuration or action choice in the main menu itself<br />
• An underlying sub-menu<br />
See Chapter 4, “Menus,” for more details.<br />
Pressing the Unload switch rewinds the tape in the cartridge. The cartridge tape<br />
then ejects from the drive so you can retrieve it.<br />
Pressing the Unload switch during a write operation causes the <strong>9840</strong> <strong>Tape</strong> <strong>Drive</strong><br />
to try to write the remaining data before the cartridge tape unloads. If the<br />
operator panel displays the “UnWr xxxx” (Unwritten Data) message (where<br />
xxxx is the fault symptom code), the attempt failed and some data is not<br />
written to the tape.<br />
At this point, do not press Unload again before you have read the instructions in<br />
Chapter 5, “<strong>Drive</strong> Errors and Messages,” about recovering from an Unwritten<br />
Data condition, see “UnWr Condition” in Chapter 5, “<strong>Drive</strong> Errors and<br />
Messages.”<br />
