Contact customer service at www.hp.com/support. The drive will not accept cartridge (or ejects it immediately) Caution The cartridge is probably incompatible, check Table 3, "Ultrium data cartridge and HP StorageWorks Ultrium tape drive compatibility," on page 21 and Table 4, "cleaning cartridge compatibility," on page 22. If the cartridge is compatible, it may have been damaged, for example it may have been dropped, the cartridge memory may be corrupted or the drive may have a fault. Never force the cartridge into the drive. 1 Check that the drive has power (the power cable is properly connected and the ready LED is on). 2 Check that you are using the correct media. Only use Ultrium media, we recommend the HP Ultrium 800 GB cartridge or 800 GB WORM cartridge for Ultrium 960 drives, the HP Ultrium 400 GB cartridge for Ultrium 460 drives and the HP Ultrium 200 GB cartridge for Ultrium 230 drives (see page 21). 3 Make sure that you have loaded the cartridge with the correct orientation (see "To load a cartridge" on page 17). 4 Check for damage to your media (to the cartridge case, leader pin or cartridge teeth) and discard it if it is damaged. See the troubleshooting section of the User's Guide on the HP StorageWorks Tape CD-ROM for more information about checking the leader pin and cartridge teeth. 5 Use a new or known, good piece of media and see if it loads. If it does, the original cartridge is faulty and should be discarded. 6 Check if another Ultrium drive will accept the cartridge. If it does, the original drive may be faulty. Before calling customer service, please check that the tape drive is responding and that it can be seen on the SCSI bus. Most users can use HP Library & Tape Tools, see page 29. 45
