3.2.1.3
Indicator Activity During Normal Operation:
Fault/Clean/Media LEDs
The Fault, Clean, and Media LEDs indicate the status of the
drive. Note that the LEDs can indicate more than one of the
indicated operating conditions simultaneously. For example:
•
If cleaning is required while a DLT1 format cartridge is
loaded, both the Clean and Media LEDs are on.
•
If an internal write/read diagnostic fails as a result of a
permanent write error, both the Fault and Clean LEDs
blink slowly.
