exceeded) and the write operation failed. Clean the drive
heads using a Seagate-approved DDS cleaning cartridge.
If you reinsert the original data cartridge and the LED
continues flashing, insert a new data cartridge and retry
the operation.
Note: As routine maintenance, you should clean the
drive heads after every 25 hours of operation when
using DDS-1 or DDS-2 tapes or after every 50
hours when using DDS-3 or DDS-4 tapes.
Drive LED
The Drive LED functions as follows:
•
If the Drive LED is ON continuously, the drive is reading
or writing the tape (that is, SCSI or tape activity is
present).
Caution. If you push the Eject button while the Drive LED is
ON, you will interrupt any host operation, causing
an application error. It may not be possible to
append to the tape if a write operation is aborted in
this way.
Note: If a SCSI Prevent Media Removal command has been
issued, the Drive LED remains ON and the eject button
is disabled so that the tape cannot be accidentally
ejected.
•
If the Drive LED is flashing rapidly, a hardware fault has
occurred. If this occurs immediately after powering on the
drive, then the Power-On Self Test switch is enabled and
a Power-On Self Test has failed. The front panel LEDs
may be flashing together. If this occurs contact the
Seagate Technical Support department for information. If
the Drive LED is flashing rapidly during drive operation,
you should attempt to remove the tape by pressing the
Eject button. If the tape does not eject within 2 minutes,
press and hold the Eject button continuously for more
than 5 seconds. The tape should eject within 40 seconds.
