■ Determine whether the Autoloader is the cause of the problem:
! The DAT AutoLoader heads have been cleaned within the last eight
hours of use.
! Verify the DAT AutoLoader switches and jumpers have been set
correctly.
! The power and signal cables are connected correctly and the
controller is seated properly.
! If multiple SCSI devices are used, be sure that each device has a
unique SCSI ID.
! The DAT AutoLoader passes the Compaq Diagnostics test.
! Check to make sure you have the latest Options ROMPaq.
! Run Compaq System Configuration Utility and check for conflicts.
Software
Make sure that:
■ The correct software drivers are being used. (Make sure that the
operating system driver for the DAT AutoLoader matches the drive
type.)
■ The tape backup software supports the DAT AutoLoader hardware you
are using.
If none of these software problems above apply, try reinstalling the tape
backup software.
