The fault LED must be solid ON to indicate an over temperature condition. If a tape is loaded, it will be ejected. This
LED will remain on until the drive temperature drops below a secondary temprature limit.
CAUTION: During firmware update, the power to the drive must not be switched off.
Switching it off will cause the drive to become inoperative.
Ready LED
The Ready LED indicates that the drive is connected to the power supply. It may be turned off during an error condition.
However, at least one LED will be lit when the drive is connected to power.
