Your 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 29. See page 17 for more information about using the
eject button in normal operation and page 32 for details about force eject and emergency
reset.
Front panel LEDs
There are four LEDs as illustrated in the diagram. (See Figure 7a.)
Ready (top, 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
Drive Error (second, amber)
• Off: no fault has been detected
• Flashing: the drive mechanisn has detected a hardware error.
Tape Error (third, 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 unreadable
cartridge memory or unsupported tape. Do not use the cartridge; replace it. The LED will go
out when a tape load is started.
Clean (bottom, amber)
• On: cleaning cartridge in use
• Off: the drive does not require cleaning
• Flashing: the drive needs cleaning
Back panel
There are two LEDs as illustrated in the diagram. (See Figure 7b.)
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)
Fan/PWR Fault (fault on fan or power supply)
• Off: no fault has been detected
• On: a fault with the fan or power supply has been detected
