Notes:
1.
A solid amber LED indicates the drive needs cleaning. The drive will continue to
function, but, needs cleaning as soon as possible. A power cycle must not turn off this
indicator.
2.
The
Fault
LED will flash to indicate an unrecoverable error. An unrecoverable error 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 will be needed to
clear the flashing Fault LED:
v
Hard SCSI Reset
v
Cartridge Eject
v
Power Cycle
v
Retry Microcode Download
An unrecoverable cartridge (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 flashing LED.
3.
The firmware download failed and the drive is not functional. The drive boot code is in
control and the microcode download should be retried.
4.
The
