Front panel LEDs

There are three LEDs as illustrated in figure 4.

Write Protected

On: the DLTtape cartridge is write-protected.

Off: the DLTtape cartridge is write-enabled.

Ready

On: the DLTtape cartridge is loaded and ready to use.

Off: no cartridge is loaded.

Flashing: tape is in motion.

Caution

On: A calibration failure or hard read/write error occurred. Try cleaning the drive with a tape approved for use in the HP Surestore DLT1 drive.

If after cleaning, this indicator is illuminated again when you load a DLTtape cartridge: it is probable that the DLTtape cartridge is causing problems. Try a new DLTtape cartridge. If this condition persists with other clean cartridges, you can use HP Library and Tape Tools (downloadable from the web site:

//www.hp.com/support/tapetools) to help you diagnose the problem. If the condition still continues, contact Technical Support.

Off: Cleaning is complete or not needed.

All three LEDs

On: Power-On Self-Test (POST) is starting.

Flashing: A POST error has occurred. For more information, see “Troubleshooting” on page 21.
