e. Error type 513 means that on-board tape drive diagnostics tests
requested by the Tape Diagnostic Test (#813) failed.

to take it out of service.
h. Error type 769 means that the tape Loop-around Test (#814) failed.

by the Firmware Error Counters Read and Clear Test (#812). See the

the RECORD switch on the tape cartridge. It should be pushed forward in

Tape circuit pack. See the

m. Error type 2049 indicates that a bad command was sent to the tape drive.
This may be caused by a software error or a hardware failure. Execute the

manufacturer’s recommended limit of accesses. The tape should be
replaced as soon as practical. This alarm can be retired by issuing the
reset tape command but it will reappear each time the Tape Firmware
Counter Test (#812) is run.
o. Error type 2306 means that a block has been reassigned on the tape or an
attempt to reassign a block has failed. The tape should be replaced as
soon as practical.
