When you select this option, the library automatically runs a series of diagnostic tests on library drives with encryption capability. These tests are run in sequence, in the order in which they appear on the results page. If a drive passes a test, the system displays "Passed" and continues on to the next test in the row. If a drive fails one of the diagnostic tests, the system displays "Failed" and then fills in the rest of the row with a status "N/A". These tests may take a few minutes to run.
