Troubleshooting
If a problem occurs with the Compaq 20/40 GB DAT 8-Cassette AutoLoader,
the first step is to try and establish whether the problem lies with the cassette,
the DAT AutoLoader, the host computer and connections, or the way the
system is being operated.
Quick Checklist
Listed below are some hardware and software related items that potentially
could cause DAT AutoLoader failures. These items are covered in more detail
under Eliminating Resource Conflicts, Installation, and Resolving Operating
Problems.
Hardware
Make sure the following tasks have been properly completed:
■ Determine whether the cassette is the cause of the problem:
! Check that you are using a DDS-labeled cassette. Do not use a
non-DDS cassette.
! Are you trying to write to non-MRS media? (See Chapter 1, “DDS
Logo Media.”)
! Is the cassette write-protected?
! If the problem still occurs, try using a different cassette.
