Notes:
1. A solid amber Cleaning LED indicates that the drive needs cleaning. The drive will
continue to function but needs cleaning as soon as possible. Do not ignore the indicator
by cycling the power to turn it off.
2. The media has reached the end of its useful life and should be replaced. Any data
should be copied to a new cartridge as soon as possible.
3. Flashing in this state indicates a problem with write/read performance.
4. An unrecoverable drive failure is an error condition that results in the drive not being
able to function unless initiator, operator, or service intervention is applied. An
unrecoverable drive failure is usually the result of a hardware error condition. One of
the following actions is needed to clear the flashing fault LED:
v Hard SCSI reset
v Cartridge emergency eject
v Power cycle
v Retry firmware download
An unrecoverable media failure is usually the result of a defective cartridge, media, or
cartridge state, and will require the drive to eject the cartridge (if possible) to clear the On
LED.
