If the Clean LED is flashing slowly, the tape cartridge in use has exceeded a
pre-defined soft-error threshold. This signal is a warning only and does not
indicate that data has been lost. If you see this signal, remove the tape at your
earliest convenience and clean the cartridge using an approved DDS cleaning
cartridge (see
2. Getting To Know Your DDS4 Drive
for details). If, after
cleaning the drive reinserting the original data cartridge, the Clean LED still
flashes, then you should use a new cartridge for future backups.
Media LED
The Media LED functions as follows:
If the Media LED is ON (lit) continuously, a DDS cartridge has been inserted
and the drive is operating normally.
If the Media LED is flashing rapidly, the drive could not write the tape correctly
(the maximum rewrite count has been exceeded) and the write operation
failed. Clean the drive heads using an approved DDS cleaning cartridge (see
2. Getting To Know Your DDS4 Drive
for details). If you reinsert the
original data cartridge and the LED continues flashing, insert a new data
cartridge and retry the operation.
Important Note:
As routine maintenance, you should clean the drive
heads after every 25 hours of operation using DDS1 or DDS2 tapes, or
after every 50 hours when using DDS3 or DDS4 tapes.
Drive LED
The Drive LED functions as follows:
If the Drive LED is ON (lit) continuously, the drive is reading and writing the
tape (specifically, there is SCSI or tape activity currently). If you push the eject
button while the Drive LED is ON, you may lose data.
Important Note:
If a SCSI Prevent Media Removal command has
been issued, the Drive LED remains ON, and the eject button is
disabled so that the tape cannot be accidentally ejected.
If the Drive LED is flashing rapidly, a hardware fault has occurred. If this
happens immediately after powering on the drive, then the Power-On Self Test
switch is enabled and a Power-On Self Test has failed. The front panel LEDs
may be flashing together. If this occurs, contact LaCie Technical Support. If the
Drive LED is flashing rapidly during drive operation, you should attempt to
remove the tape by pressing the eject button. If the tape does not eject within
2 minutes, press and hold the eject button continuously for more than 5
