A successful POST always finishes with a steadily illuminated Ready LED. Any unexpected LED
indications during POST may indicate a failure. Use the information in
Table 5-1
and
Table 5-2
to
troubleshoot the tape drive. If the condition persists, contact Quantum Technical Support.
Table 5-1.
Errors Indicated by Front Panel LEDs
Symptom
Problem
Solution
None of the tape drive’s
LEDs illuminate
The tape drive is not
receiving power.
Check the tape drive’s power cable. If you are using
a tabletop tape drive, check the power cable
connections. Plug the power cable into a different
power outlet.
Media LED: Slow blink
Unsupported format,
unsupported data cartridge
type, or damaged data
cartridge.
Inspect the data cartridge and confirm the format,
type, and integrity. The tape drive ejects the data
cartridge if you load an unsupported data cartridge,
such as:
•
DLTtape™ III
•
SDLT I and II data cartridges
•
Incompatible cleaning cartridges
•
Data cartridges with damaged media
•
DLTtape™ IV data cartridge that is either blank
or was written using an unsupported format such
as DLT 4000, DLT 7000, or DLT 8000
•
Any cartridge that causes an unsuccessful buckle
operation.
If the problem is repeatable with a known-good data
cartridge, replace the tape drive or call Quantum
Technical Support.
Media LED: Illuminated
A DLT1 (VS80) format
DLTtape™ IV data cartridge
is loaded.
Your DLT VS160 tape drive can read, but not write,
to this data cartridge. If attempting to read, no action
is required. If you attempt a write operation, your
backup application will return a “Write Protected”
message.
Clean LED: Slow blink
Calibration error or
permanent write/read error.
The tape drive cannot read the calibration tracks on
the media or has encountered a permanent write or
read error. If the failure is the result of a calibration
error, the tape drive ejects the data cartridge. If the
failure is the result of a permanent read/write error,
the tape drive does not eject the data cartridge. Try a
known-good data cartridge. If the condition persists
with a particular data cartridge, discard or degauss
that data cartridge. If this error is repeatable with a
known-good data cartridge, try cleaning the tape
drive. If cleaning the tape drive does not help,
replace the tape drive or contact Quantum Technical
Support.
