The Density Select button is not
used
The lights show the actual density when the tape is
reading and writing. The lights are on steady and
Density Override is off.
The Density Select button is
used, and if the actual tape
density is the same as the density
you selected
The actual density and the Density Override light.
For example, if the actual tape density is 10.0 GB
and the selected tape density is 10.0 GB, then the
indicator next to 10.0 lights.
The Density Select button is
used, and if the actual tape
density differs from the density
selected
1. The light with the actual density is on steady
2. The light with the selected density blinks
3. Density Override lights steady
For example, if the actual tape density is 10.0 and
the selected density is 6.0, 10.0 lights steady, 6.0
blinks, and Density Override lights steady.
To select density over the SCSI bus:
1. Do a SCSI MODE SELECT with the density you want. For more details, see
Chapter 8.
2. Write data to the tape from BOT.
