10.0 89h_System Test Timeout
This error code indicates there was a communication timeout between the drive and the autoloader during
the system test. Using invalid media or getting a SCSI bus reset can cause this error. Troubleshooting
should begin with cycling power to the autoloader.
DP1:
Check to see if the error code is still present after cycling autoloader power.
Note:
The autoloader power switch is located in the lower left corner of the front panel behind the bezel.
Use the eraser end of a pencil or something similar to press the right side of the power switch to toggle it to
the OFF position. Press the left side of the power switch to toggle it back to the ON position.

11.0 8Fh_Recovered Loader Error
This error code indicates the autoloader successfully recovered from an error. This error code is typically
associated with SCSI bus resets since it takes longer for an autoloader to complete a command that was
retried. Troubleshooting should begin with cycling power to the autoloader to clear the error code.
If error code 8Fh consistently repeats, replace the autoloader, as it may be an indication that components
are wearing out.
