146 Troubleshooting Common Problems

Chapter 4

Cause: Expired cleaning

cartridge

A cleaning cartridge is good for 20 uses. After that, the drive

will still load the cartridge, but it will not perform any cleaning,

and the cleaning light will stay on. If cleaning is performed

from the front panel of the library, the library will provide a

front panel message if the cleaning cartridge has expired.

Cause: Cleaning requested/

required and overuse of

cleaning cartridges

Use of a cleaning cartridge should only be done when the

drive front panel states “cleaning required.”

Cause: Old firmware revisions

If a cleaning tape does not resolve a cleaning light issue, make

sure the latest drive firmware is being used.

Connections

Changed drive SCSI ID, but

the new ID is not recognized

by the host computer.

Check that all SCSI devices on the same bus have different ID

numbers.

Reboot the host.

If the drive SCSI ID remains at 5, regardless of what is selected,

then the drive is not communicating with the library. Contact

your service representative.
