Seagate DAT Drive Installation Manual 16 Cartridge status LED The green, rectangular Cartridge Status LED indicates the following conditions: • If the Cartridge Status LED is ON (lit) continuously, a cartridge has been inserted and is operating normally. • If the Cartridge Status LED is flashing slowly, the tape cartridge currently in the drive has generated a significant number of data retries (beyond a predefined DDS error threshold). This signal is a warning only and does not indicate data loss. If you see this signal, remove the tape and clean the tape heads using an approved DDS DAT cleaning cartridge (such as the Seagate Model 91301). If the LED continues flashing or flashes when ejecting the cartridge, use a new cartridge for future writes. ® Note. As routine maintenance, you should clean the drive heads after every 25 hours of operation. See subsequent information about maintenance. • If the Cartridge Status LED is flashing slowly in conjunction with the yellow LED, a prerecorded audio cartridge is inserted and is being played automatically. • If the Cartridge Status LED is flashing rapidly, the drive could not write the tape correctly (maximum rewrite count exceeded) and the write operation failed. First, clean the drive heads using an approved DDS DAT cleaning cartridge, such as the Seagate Model 91301. If the LED continues flashing, use a new cartridge for future writes.

Cartridge status LED
The green, rectangular Cartridge Status LED indicates
the following conditions:
•
If the Cartridge Status LED is ON (lit) continuously, a
cartridge has been inserted and is operating normally.
•
If the Cartridge Status LED is flashing slowly, the
tape cartridge currently in the drive has generated a
significant number of data retries (beyond a
predefined DDS error threshold). This signal is a
warning only and does not indicate data loss.
If you see this signal, remove the tape and clean the
tape heads using an approved DDS DAT cleaning
cartridge (such as the Seagate Model 91301). If the
LED continues flashing or flashes when ejecting the
cartridge, use a new cartridge for future writes.
Note.
As routine maintenance, you should clean the
drive heads after every 25 hours of operation. See
subsequent information about maintenance.
•
If the Cartridge Status LED is flashing slowly in
conjunction with the yellow LED, a prerecorded audio
cartridge is inserted and is being played
automatically.
•
If the Cartridge Status LED is flashing rapidly, the
drive could not write the tape correctly (maximum
rewrite count exceeded) and the write operation failed.
First, clean the drive heads using an approved DDS
DAT cleaning cartridge, such as the Seagate Model
91301. If the LED continues flashing, use a new
cartridge for future writes.
