Methods of Receiving Errors and Messages
Use Table 11 as a guide for identifying error codes and message codes reported by
the Ultrium Tape Drive, its enclosure (if applicable), or the server.
Note: The codes on the single-character display have different meanings,
depending on whether they display during normal operations or while the
drive is in maintenance mode. Codes that occur during normal operations
are defined in Table 12. Codes that occur while in maintenance mode are
defined in Table 7 on page 29.

Descriptions and Corrective Actions for Errors and Messages
Table 12 gives descriptions of the errors and messages that pertain to the Ultrium
Tape Drive, and tells what to do when you receive them.
Attention: If the tape drive detects a permanent error and displays an error code
other than 0, it automatically performs a drive dump. If you force a drive dump, the
existing dump will be overwritten and data will be lost. After you force a drive dump,
do not turn off the power to the tape drive or you may lose the dump data.
Table 12. Codes for Error Conditions and Informational Messages for the Ultrium Internal Tape Drive. The
single-character display clears if you power-off the drive.
Code Cause and Action
0 No error occurred and no action is required. This code displays:
v When power is cycled (turned off, then on) to the tape drive.
v When diagnostics have finished running and no error occurred.
Note: The single-character display is blank during normal operation of the tape drive.
