Appendix C. Error Recovery Procedures
Use Table 8 to resolve error messages that appear on the LCD of the 7208 Model
345 Tape Drive:
1. Determine the fault symptom code (FSC) in the error message (the first two
digits in the message). For example, in error message
ERR 1: AD 58 C0
, the
FSC is
AD
.
2.
Locate the FSC in Table 7 on page 41 and identify the error recovery procedure
(ERP) number for that FSC.
3. Locate the ERP number in Table 8, and identify the recommended error
recovery procedure. If two or more ERP codes are listed for the fault symptom
code in Table 7 on page 41, perform the action for the first code, then perform
the action for the second code, and so on.
