HP SureStore AutoBackup Administrator's Guide - Not Orderable

The Tape light on steadily means
Cartridge loaded, drive ready
The Tape light flashing rapidly means
Cartridge loaded, activity occurring
The Clean light on steadily is the Error Condition
Signal.
HP SureStore DAT drives perform a
comprehensive self-test during power-up. If a hard
error causes the self-test to fail, the clean light
changes to steady amber. If this happens, call for
service.
The Clean light flashing is the Media Caution
Signal.
If the media caution signal appears:
Wait for the current operation to finish,
then insert a different tape and repeat the
operation that was being performed.
If the media caution signal does not show
this time, it indicates that the original
cartridge was nearing the end of its useful
life. Copy any data you want to keep from
the original tape onto a new tape if
possible, then discard the old tape.
If the media caution signal appears again
with the second tape, the tape heads need
cleaning.
If the media caution signal appears after
using a cleaning cartridge, the cleaning
cartridge has probably expired and should
be discarded.
