19 Nearing media Set when the tape cartridge is nearing its specified end of
life life. It is cleared when the cartridge is removed from the
drive.
20 Clean now Set when the tape drive detects that it needs cleaning.
21 Clean periodic Set when the tape drive detects that it needs routine
cleaning.
22 Expired cleaning Set when the tape drive detects a cleaning cartridge that
media is expired.
23 Invalid cleaning Set when the drive expects a cleaning cartridge to be
cartridge loaded and the loaded cartridge is not a cleaning
cartridge.
30 Hardware A Set when a hardware failure occurs that requires that you
reset the tape drive to recover.
31 Hardware B Set when the tape drive fails its internal Power-On Self-
Tests (POSTs).
32 Interface Set when the tape drive detects a problem with the host
interface.
33 Eject media Set when a failure occurs that requires the tape cartridge
to be unloaded from the drive.
34 Download fail Set when an FMR image is unsuccessfully downloaded to
the tape drive via the SAS interface.
35 Drive humidity Set when the drive humidity sensor indicates that the
drive's humidity exceeds the recommended humidity of
the drive.
36 Drive Set when the drive temperature sensor indicates that the
temperature drive's temperature exceeds the recommended
temperature of the drive.
37 Drive voltage Set when the drive detects power supply voltages that
approach or exceed the specified voltage limits.

Unload the tape cartridge, then reinsert and restart the operation. If this
procedure fails, use different media.
Check the FMR image is correct. If necessary, download the correct FMR
image.

1. Remove the tape cartridge from the library and inspect it for
damage. If damaged, discard it.
2. Insert another tape cartridge into the tape drive. If the problem
persists, see Contacting IBM technical
1. Attempt to unload the tape from the drive with the host backup
application that is with the drive, or with the remote or local UI.
2. If the cartridge still does not unload, see
technical support.
1. Unload the cartridge from the drive with the Web User Interface
or Operator Panel.
2. Try a power cycle of the entire library. This procedure causes the
drive to reset and attempt to rewind and unload when power is
restored. If the cartridge unloads, remove it from the library and
inspect it. If damaged, discard it.
3. Try to unload the cartridge from the drive again with the Web User
Interface or Operator Panel.
4. If the cartridge still does not unload from the drive, see
