Your HP StorageWorks Ultrium tape drive
Your Ultrium tape drive has four LEDs (light emitting diodes) on the front panel, which indicate drive
status, and two LEDs on the rear panel. The power switch is also illuminated when power is
switched on. These LEDs provide useful troubleshooting information, see also "Understanding the
LEDs" on page 39. See page 19 for more information about using the eject button in normal
operation and page 42 for details about force eject.
Front panel LEDs
There are four LEDs as illustrated in the diagram. (See Figure 8.)
Ready (green)
• On: the drive is ready for use
• Off: the drive power is off or there was a failure during self-test
• Flashing: the drive is busy
• Flashing repeated pattern: the drive is in OBDR mode
Drive (amber)
• Off: no fault has been detected
• Flashing: the drive mechanism has detected a hardware error.
Tape (amber)
• Off: no fault has been detected
• Flashing: the tape currently in the drive is faulty. This LED could come on for a number of reasons,
but they all relate to the tape being in error in some way, such as damaged media or unsupported
tape. Do not use the cartridge; replace it. The LED will go out when another tape is inserted.
Clean - (amber)
• On: cleaning cartridge in use
• Off: the drive does not require cleaning
• Flashing: the drive needs cleaning
Accessibility features
The front panel of the HP StorageWorks Ultrium tape drive has been designed for increased
accessibility for persons with disabilities. This includes large font labeling of the Status LEDs and
an Eject button that has been designed for ease of use.
Back panel
There are two LEDs as illustrated in the diagram. (See Figure 8.)
Act TERM (termination active)
• On: the drive enclosure is providing active termination on the SCSI bus
• Off: the drive enclosure is not providing active termination (there is another device or terminator
attached to the SCSI-OUT connector)
