This is the Error Condition Signal. DAT
drives perform a comprehensive self-test
on during power-up. If a hard error causes
the self-test to fail, the clean light
changes to steady amber.
This is the Media Caution Signal.
1. Wait for the current operation to
finish, then insert a different tape
and repeat the operation that was
being performed.
2. If the media caution signal does not
show this time, it indicates that the
original cartridge was nearing the
end of its useful life. Copy any data
you want to keep from the original
flashing slowly
tape onto a new tape if possible,
then discard the old tape.
3. If the media caution signal appears
again with the second tape, the tape
heads need cleaning.
4. If the media caution signal appears
after using a cleaning cartridge, the
cleaning cartridge has probably ex-
pired and should be discarded.
