Description
Action Required
31
Hardware B
Set when the tape drive fails its
internal Power-On Self Test (POST).
Retry the job using a different tape
cartridge. If the retry was successful,
the original tape cartridge is
defective. Copy any data from the
tape and discard it. If the retry was
not successful, contact your IBM
Service Representative for problem
determination or machine
replacement.
32
Interface
Set when the tape drive detects a
problem with the SCSI or RS-422
interface.
Contact your IBM Service
Representative for problem
determination or machine
replacement.
33
Eject media
Set when a failure occurs that
requires you to unload the cartridge
from the drive and discard it.
Unload and discard the tape
cartridge.
34
Download fail
Set when an FMR image is
unsuccessfully downloaded to the
tape drive via the SCSI interface.
Download the FMR image again
(ensure that it is the correct image).
36
Drive temperature
Set when the drive temperature
sensor indicates that the drive is too
hot.
Ensure that the operating
temperature is within the specified
range (see “Specifications” on
page 3). If the operating temperature
is within the specified range, contact
your IBM Service Representative for
problem determination or machine
replacement.
37
Drive voltage
Set when the drive detects that the
externally supplied voltages are
outside of the specified voltage limits.
Contact your IBM Service
Representative for problem
determination or machine
replacement.
39
Diagnostics required
Set when the drive detects a failure
that requires diagnostics for isolation.
Contact your IBM Service
Representative for problem
determination or machine
replacement.
