If the Drive LED is flashing rapidly, a hardware fault has occurred. If this fault
occurs immediately after powering on the drive, then the Power-On Self-Test
switch is enabled and a Power-On Self-Test has failed. If the front panel LEDs
flash together, contact the Seagate Technical Support department for
information. If the Drive LED is flashing rapidly during drive operation, 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 seconds.
The tape should eject within 40 seconds. Contact Seagate Technical Support for
more information.
