General Troubleshooting
Troubleshoot problems with your SDLT 600 tape drive using
the following steps:
1.
Visually inspect the cartridge for damage, and try a new
cartridge if necessary.
2.
Make sure the cables and connectors are in good
condition. For example, check that they are not worn
or broken, and there are no missing or bent pins.
3.
Make sure the connector on each end of the cable is fully
seated.
4.
Disconnect the tape drive from the host system, power
off the tape drive, and power it on again to perform a
POST.
5.
If you have a SCSI tape drive, remove all devices from
the SCSI bus. Connect the tape drive directly to the host
computer and terminate it (
). Confirm that the tape
drive and host computer are communicating properly
before adding other devices.
6.
If you have a Fibre Channel tape drive, look at the back
panel to see if the green LED (the “link light”) there is
illuminated (
). If the link light is illuminated, you
have a working connection with the Fibre Channel
network.
