Chapter 5: Troubleshooting Your Tape Drive
5-10 January 2004 81-81191-01 Rev A01
5.3.2 Unresponsive Tape Drive
On rare occasions, the tape drive may become unresponsive. If this should happen, follow these steps
to reset the tape drive and unload the data cartridge:
1. Press and hold the Unload/Eject button for approximately 27 seconds until all four LEDs are
steadily illuminated (not blinking).
2. Release the Unload/Eject button while all four LEDs are steadily illuminated. The tape drive
initiates a device reset, then performs a POST.
3. Upon completion of POST, press and release the Unload/Eject button as soon as the Ready LED
begins to blink and/or you hear media motion. The tape drive attempts to eject the data cartridge as
soon as the device reset is complete and the tape drive completes a mid-tape load. This can take
several minutes.
4.
If you do not press the Unload/Eject button again as indicated in Step 3, the data cartridge in the
tape drive is ready to use after the tape drive resets.
5.3.3 Tape Drive Noises During System Startup
During system startup, the computer accesses the tape drive and re–tensions any data cartridge in the
tape drive to prepare the tape drive for operation. The noise and vibration associated with this activity
are normal for this technology and do not indicate a problem with the tape drive.
5.3.4 Tape Drive Failures During Backup or Restore
Operations
If you experience tape drive failures during backup or restore operations, check each of the following
conditions:
•
Make sure you are using the correct type of data cartridge.
•
Make sure data cartridge is not write-protected.
•
Remove and reinsert the data cartridge.
•
Try a different data cartridge, preferably a new one.
•
Clean the tape drive read/write head.
•
Verify tape drive settings in the system setup program.
•
Check all cable connections.
