Getting Information from the Single-Character Display

Error Conditions and Informational Messages   

If multiple errors occur, the code with the highest 

priority (represented by the lowest number) displays first. When the error is corrected, 
the code with the next highest priority displays, and so on until no errors remain.

Note:

The single-character display is blank during normal operation.

Code

Cause and Solution

0

No error occurred and no action is required. This code displays:

When power is cycled.

When diagnostics have finished running and no error occurred.

1

Cooling problem. The tape drive detected that the recommended operating temperature was exceeded. 
Perform one or more of the following actions:
- Ensure that the cooling fan is rotating and is quiet.

Remove any blockage that prevents air from flowing freely through the tape drive.

Ensure that the operating temperature and airflow is within the specified range.

- If the operating temperature is within the specified range and the problem persists, replace the drive.
The error code clears when you power-off the tape drive or place it in maintenance mode.

2

Power problem. The tape drive detected that the externally supplied power is approaching the specified 
voltage limits (the tape drive is still operating) or is outside the specified voltage limits (the tape drive is 
not operating). Perform the following:
- Ensure that the power connector is properly seated.
- Ensure that the proper dc voltages are being applied within the tolerances allowed.
- If the proper voltages are being applied but the problem persists, replace the drive.
The error code clears when you power-off the tape drive or place it in maintenance mode.
