information
Swap the drive to a known good/working system, then test
communications to the drive using Library and Tape Tools.
NOTE:
Due to issues in development Library and Tape
Tools cannot be reliably used to diagnose potential
issues with the DAT 40 Hotplug drive (Q1546A
only). This problem is currently being investigated
and will be corrected in the next revision of Library
and Tape tools. This note will be updated once the
problem has been corrected but until then do not
use Library and Tape Tools to diagnose issues with
this product. This problem only relates to the
Q1546A product, no other DAT 40 variants are
affected.
