setting), the power-on self-test may have failed and the drive
will not operate.
Cartridge status LED
The green, rectangular Cartridge Status LED indicates the
following conditions:
•
If the Cartridge Status LED is ON (lit) continuously, a
DAT cartridge has been inserted and the drive is
operating normally.
•
If the Cartridge Status LED is flashing slowly, the tape
cartridge currently in the drive has generated a significant
number of data retries (beyond a predefined DDS error
threshold). This signal is a warning only and does not
indicate data loss. If you see this signal, remove the tape
and clean the tape heads using an approved DDS DAT
cleaning cartridge (such as the Seagate Model 91301). If
the LED continues flashing or flashes when ejecting the
cartridge, use a new cartridge for future writes.
•
If the Cartridge Status LED is flashing rapidly, the drive
could not write the tape correctly (maximum rewrite count
exceeded) and the write operation failed. Clean the drive
heads using an approved DDS DAT cleaning cartridge,
such as the Seagate Model 91301. If the LED continues
flashing, use a new cartridge for future writes.
Note: As routine maintenance, you should clean the drive
heads after every 25 hours of operation. See subsequent
information about maintenance.
•
If both the Cartridge Status LED and the Drive Status
LED are flashing slowly, a prerecorded audio cartridge is
being played automatically.
