Multiple Errors If multiple errors occur, the code with highest priority
(lowest number) displays first. Once corrected, the code with the next
highest priority displays, until none remain.
Note: The drive may need to be reset in order to clear the error code.
WORM Media LTO-3 and later generation drives and TS11xx technology
drives support using WORM media. To learn more about WORM media,
see WORM Media on page 551.
The following conditions cause WORM media errors to occur:
Information in the servo manufacturer’s word on the tape must match
information from the cartridge MAM. If it does not match, the drive’s
SCD displays error code 7.
Inserting a WORM tape cartridge into a drive that is not compatible
with WORM media causes the cartridge to be treated as an
unsupported medium. The drive’s SCD displays error code 7.
LTO SCD Codes
SCD Code Descriptions for LTO-3 and Later Generations The following
table shows the SCD codes and, where applicable the associated DLM
Drive Health icon, for LTO-3 and later generations of LTO drives. See the
table on page 316 for a description of what the Drive Health icons indicate.
For TS11xx technology MCD codes, see MCD Code Descriptions for
TS11xx Technology Drives on page 427.
Note: The single-character display does not use the characters B, D, G,
I, O and Z to prevent misinterpretation as the characters 8, 0, 6, 2,
and 1.

The recommended operating temperature was exceeded. Perform one or more of
the following:
Make sure that the cooling fan is rotating and is quiet.
Remove any blockage that prevents air from flowing freely through the drive.
Make sure that the operating temperature and airflow is within the specified
range (refer to the tape drive documentation for these specifications).
If the operating temperature is within the specified range and the problem
persists, contact Spectra Logic Technical Support (see Contacting Spectra Logic
on page 7).
Note: The error code clears when you reset or power cycle the drive or when
you place it in maintenance mode.
