Troubleshooting Your
Tape Drive
This chapter provides troubleshooting information for your DLT VS160 tape drive.
5.1
General Troubleshooting Guidelines
If you have a problem when using the tape drive, first try to isolate the cause of the problem. For
example, if you have just installed a new SCSI host bus adapter and the system will not start, the cause
of the problem is likely to be the adapter.
When installing multiple items of hardware and software, install each item one at a time, restarting the
system each time. Also, if you have installed multiple devices or software and then experience
problems, remove or uninstall each in turn to establish which one is causing the problem.
Remember that the system recognizes devices during power-on: if you swap or connect a product
when the system is running, be sure to restart the system. Restarting the system resets devices and
often resolves problems. It is good practice to restart after adding a driver or installing new firmware.
