The Light Emitting Diodes on the left front face of the DLT drives are yellow and indicate
the tape format. For example, if the 20.0 light is on, the tape is recorded in 20.0 GB
density. If the light is blinking, the tape is recorded in a different density although this
density was selected for your current operation.
