Datasheet

Note:
1. When used in this table, Flashing refers to a 1 Hz flash rate(1 flash per second), and Flashing Rapidly refers to a 4
Hz flash rate(4 flashes per second).
2. Immediately following a Power-On Self-Test sequence or a drive reset, both LED's, all segments of the single-
character display, and the SCD dot will be on solid for approximately 3 seconds.
3. When a drive need cleaning, the Fault LED will be on solid and a C will show on the single character display. In most
cases the drive will continue to function, but it should be cleaned as soon as possible. Do not ignore the indicator by
cycling the power to turn the LED off.
4. Error code on single-character display is cleared when cartridge is removed from drive.
5. The Fault LED will be on solid to indicate an over-temperature condition. If a tape is present it will be ejected. This
LED will remain on until the drive temperature drops below a lower secondary-temperature limit and one of the
following two conditions is also met:
{ A data or cleaning cartridge is inserted.
{ The drive is powered off and on.
6. A drive dump will be stored before the drive is powered off. The SCD light serves as a dump indicator. When this
light is lit, a dump file is stored in the drive and can be retrieved.
7. Failure cannot be isolated to either a faulty drive or faulty media.
8. Error condition will be cleared when the drive is powered off. The drive is not disabled. >li. The firmware update
failed and the drive is not functional. The drive boot code is in control and you should retry the firmware download.
9. When the drive is in maintenance mode, the Fault LED will be on solid and the single character display will indicate
the current maintenance mode state.
