NO MAGAZINE

Operator action required:

The tape subsystem does not detect a magazine in the ACF. If a
magazine is installed in the ACF, clear the condition by removing and
then replacing the magazine in the ACF. Try another or a different
magazine. If the condition persists or a FID message is displayed,
report any FID codes to your service representative.

The operator can use the tape subsystem by loading cartridges into the
priority cell in all modes except in Random mode. Random mode
requires a magazine to be installed and locked.

PICKER

OVERCURRENT

Service representative intervention required.

Report any FID codes to your service representative.

PINCH 1 ERROR

Service representative intervention may be required.

This failure may be caused by a dirty cartridge. Look for any
contamination on the sides of the cartridge that could cause the pinch
rollers to slip. Clean or replace the cartridge.
Note:

Do not ship magazines with cartridges loaded. The cartridges

will vibrate in the magazine slots resulting in contamination on the
sides of the cartridges that may cause this failure.

PINCH 2 ERROR

Service representative intervention may be required.

This failure may be caused by a dirty cartridge. Look for any
contamination on the sides of the cartridge that could cause the pinch
rollers to slip. Clean or replace the cartridge.
Note:

Do not ship magazines with cartridges loaded. The cartridges

will vibrate in the magazine slots resulting in contamination on the
sides of the cartridges that may cause this failure.

PINCH

OVERCURRENT

Service representative intervention required.

Report any FID codes to your service representative.

PRIORITY EXPORT ER

Operator action required:

When the tape subsystem placed a cartridge in the priority cell, the
cartridge was placed either beyond or in front of the Export position.
When the cartridge is not in the Export position, it is possible that a
cartridge placed in front of the Export position may unexpectedly be
reused. When a cartridge is placed beyond the Export position, it is
possible that the cartridge will not be detected in the priority cell.

Correct either of these conditions by removing the cartridge from the
priority cell.

TEMP AC PWR DIP

Operator intervention or possible service representative corrective
action required.

Select Unload on the operator panel and press Enter. If the device fails
to unload the cartridge, note any FID messages and call your service
representative.
