A Tape drive hardware problem. The tape drive determined that a problem occurred that
degraded the operation of the tape drive, but it did not restrict continued use. If the problem
persists, replace the tape drive. The drive is usable, though the single-character display
(SCD) continues to indicate an error and the status light flashes amber. The error code may
clear when you cycle power to the tape drive or place it in maintenance mode.
B No error or message is assigned. See error code 8 in this table.
C The tape drive needs to be cleaned. The error code clears when you clean the drive or place
it in maintenance mode.
D
No error or message assigned. See Error Code 0 in this table.
... The message display has lost communication with the tape drive. This message appears on
Line 2 of the message display. The three dots may occasionally display during normal
processing.
LTO-2 SCD Codes
If multiple errors occur, the code with highest priority (lowest number)
displays first. Once corrected, the code with the next highest priority
displays, until none remain.
Code Cause and Solution

finished with no errors.

If the operating temperature is within the specified range and the problem persists, replace
the drive.

mode.
