If the Drive LED remains ON (lit), this indicates that the

Caution: Do not push the Open/Close button while
this LED is ON. If you do, the operation in progress is
aborted and the cartridge will be ejected, possibly
causing a loss of data.
If the Drive LED flashes rapidly, a hardware fault has
occurred. If this occurs immediately after power-on and
the drive's power-on self-test is enabled (Switch 8 = ON),
the power-on self-test may have failed. In that case, have
the drive repaired before trying to use it.
If the Cassette LED remains ON (lit), this indicates that a
cartridge has been inserted and the autoloader is
operating normally.
If the Cassette LED flashes slowly, the current cartridge
is generating excessive media errors. This signal is a
warning only and does not indicate a loss of data.
In this situation, you should clean the drive heads using
an approved cleaning cartridge (such as the Seagate part
number 90301).
If the LED continues flashing after you have cleaned the
drive heads have been cleaned, or flashes while a
cartridge is being ejected, the cartridge may be damaged.
Try using a new cartridge for future writes.
If the Cassette LED flashes rapidly, the drive could not
