Table 10. Troubleshooting Tips for the Ultrium Internal Tape Drive (continued)
If the problem is this.... Do this....
The tape drive does not respond to
server commands.
Press and hold the unload button on the drive for 10 seconds to force a drive
dump. The drive will save the dump and then reboot to allow communication
to the drive to occur. Do not cycle power, as this will erase the contents of
the dump.
The status light flashes green. Typically, no action is required because a flashing green LED means normal
operation. However, the tape drive may have contained a cartridge when it
was powered-on. If so, the drive completes POST and slowly rewinds the
tape (the process may take approximately 13 minutes). The light stops
blinking when the drive completes the recovery and is ready for a read or
write operation. To eject the cartridge, press the unload button.
