LED Warning Conditions
The following sections describe actions to take if the LEDs indicate a
warning condition.
Self-Test Failure If the LEDs display the self-test (failure) signal, a
fault was diagnosed during the self tests. Note the pattern of the pulses
and contact your local service representative.
Caution Hewlett-Packard DDS drives continually monitor the number
of errors they have to correct when reading and writing to a tape to
determine tape wear and tape-head cleanliness. If excessive tape wear or
dirty tape heads are suspected, the drive warns you by displaying the
Caution signal on the LED indicators.
