Appendix A. Codes on the Single-Character Display Errors and informational messages that pertain to the 3580 Ultrium 2 Tape Drive are presented by the single-character display. If an error code displays, refer to Chapter 5, "Troubleshooting", on page 47 to troubleshoot the problem. Table 8 describes the messages and codes. Note: The codes on the 3580 Ultrium 2 Tape Drive's single-character display have different meanings, depending on whether they display during normal operation or while the tape drive is in maintenance mode. Codes that occur during normal operations are defined in Table 8. Codes that occur while in maintenance mode are defined in Table 9 on page 59. Table 8. Codes on the single-character display of the 3580 Ultrium 2 Tape Drive. The display clears if you power-off the tape drive. Code Cause and Action 0 No error occurred and no action is required. This code displays: v When power is cycled (turned off, then on) to the tape drive. v When diagnostics have finished running and no error occurred. Note: The single-character display is blank during normal operation of the tape drive. 1 Cooling problem. The tape drive detected that the recommended operating temperature was exceeded. Perform one or more of the following actions: v Ensure that the cooling fan is rotating and is quiet. If not, replace the 3580 Ultrium 2 Tape Drive. v Remove any blockage that prevents air from flowing freely through the tape drive. v Ensure that the operating temperature and airflow is within the specified range (see "Specifications" on page 4). v If the operating temperature is within the specified range and the problem persists, replace the 3580 Ultrium 2 Tape Drive. The error code clears when you power-off the tape drive or place it in maintenance mode. 2 Power problem. The tape drive detected that the externally supplied power is approaching the specified voltage limits (the tape drive is still operating) or is outside the specified voltage limits (the tape drive is not operating). Perform the following action: 1. Ensure that the power connector is properly seated. 2. Ensure that the proper dc voltages are being applied within the tolerances allowed (see "Specifications" on page 4). 3. If the proper voltages are being applied but the problem persists, replace the 3580 Ultrium 2 Tape Drive. The error code clears when you power-off the tape drive or place it in maintenance mode. © Copyright IBM Corp. 2003 55

Appendix A. Codes on the Single-Character Display
Errors and informational messages that pertain to the 3580 Ultrium 2 Tape Drive
are presented by the single-character display. If an error code displays, refer to
Chapter 5,
“
Troubleshooting
”
, on page 47 to troubleshoot the problem. Table 8
describes the messages and codes.
Note:
The codes on the 3580 Ultrium 2 Tape Drive
’
s single-character display have
different meanings, depending on whether they display during normal
operation or while the tape drive is in maintenance mode. Codes that occur
during normal operations are defined in Table 8. Codes that occur while in
maintenance mode are defined in Table 9 on page 59.
Table 8. Codes on the single-character display of the 3580 Ultrium 2 Tape Drive
. The display clears if you power-off

1
Cooling problem. The tape drive detected that the recommended operating temperature was
exceeded. Perform one or more of the following actions:
v
Ensure that the cooling fan is rotating and is quiet. If not, replace the 3580 Ultrium 2 Tape
Drive.
v
Remove any blockage that prevents air from flowing freely through the tape drive.
v
