Status Light
The status light
.4/
on the 7207-122 Tape Drive can turn two colors:
Green
The light is solid when the drive is operating the tape cartridge; it flashes
during the cleaning cycle.
Amber
The light is solid when the tape drive experiences a hardware fault
condition that may or may not be recoverable. The drive will not respond
to other commands until the fault is cleared. To clear the fault, turn the
7207-122 Tape Drive off, then on again:
If the amber light is not on, the fault was cleared and the tape drive
can be used again.
Note: Always clean the tape drive after clearing a fault and before
proceeding with further use.
If the amber light is still on and is solid, refer to Chapter 5,
“Performing Service on the 7207 Tape Drive” on page 27.
The light flashes when the cleaning cartridge has expired, or when the
tape runs off the end of the cartridge or breaks. Replace the cleaning
cartridge or the data cartridge. If the light continues to flash with a data
cartridge loaded, there may be a problem with the tape drive. Refer to
Chapter 5, “Performing Service on the 7207 Tape Drive” on page 27.
Loading Tape Cartridges
To load a tape cartridge, do the following. For information about the type of media
to use, refer to Chapter 4, “Using the Media” on page 19.
1. Make sure that the power is on to the 7207-122 Tape Drive (the power-on light
should be on).
2. Press the unload button. The tape drive door opens.
3. Pull the door down so there is sufficient clearance to load the tape cartridge.
4. Grasp the cartridge (
.1/
in Figure 9 on page 15) so that the clear, plastic
cover faces up and the cartridge door
.2/
is on the right.
Note: See “Setting the Write-Protect Switch” on page 24 to make sure that
the write-protect switch is properly set.
5. Slide the cartridge into the tape load compartment and close the door.
