Understanding LEDs
Clean is FLASHING.
The tape drive requires
cleaning.
Load the Ultrium universal cleaning cartridge.
If the Clean LED is still flashing when you load
a new or known data cartridge after cleaning,
call for service.
Ready is FLASHING, and
Clean is ON.
Cleaning is in progress.
None. The cleaning cartridge will eject on
completion.
The cleaning cycle can take up to five minutes
to complete.
Tape Error is FLASHING.
The tape drive believes the
current tape or the tape
just ejected is faulty.
Unload the tape cartridge. Make sure you are
using the correct format cartridge: an Ultrium
data cartridge or Ultrium universal cleaning
cartridge.
Reload the cartridge. If the Tape Error LED still
flashes or starts flashing during the next
backup, load a new or known, good cartridge.
If the Tape Error LED is now off, discard the
‘suspect’ tape cartridge. If it is still on, call for
service.
The tape is ejected
immediately and Tape
Error is FLASHING, or
Drive Error FLASHES on
unloading tape.
The tape cartridge memory
may be faulty.
Write-protect the cartridge by sliding the red
switch on the tape cartridge. The tape can be
loaded and the data read. Once the data is
recovered, the cartridge must be discarded.
