Power problem. The tape drive detected that the externally supplied power is approaching the specified
voltage limits (the tape drive is still operating) or is outside the specified voltage limits (the tape drive is
not operating). Perform the following:
- Ensure that the power connector is properly seated.
- Ensure that the proper dc voltages are being applied within the tolerances allowed.
- If the proper voltages are being applied but the problem persists, replace the drive.
The error code clears when you power-off the tape drive or place it in maintenance mode.
