Use Cleaning Tape LED 6-5
If an excessive number of read-after-write errors are detected
during normal operation of the 4000/7000DLT Series, the Use
Cleanin
g
Ta
p
e LED will be turned on by the drive.
Usually, the Use Cleanin
g
Ta
p
e LED is turned on by the
drive because of a dirty head, so the head should be cleaned
and the operation tried again.
If the Use Cleanin
g
Ta
p
e LED is again turned on and this
seems to be a cartridge rather than a drive problem, make sure
that all the data on that cartridge is backed up to a new
cartridge by doing a complete backup from the source drive,
if necessary. Then discard the old cartridge. If you are unsure
of the problem source, call customer service.
The Use Cleanin
g
Ta
p
e LED is normally turned off by
executing a cleaning cycle or by cycling power to the
4000/7000DLT Series.

and go off if the test
succeeds.
You are finding fatal or
nonfatal errors for which
you cannot determine the
cause
The bus termination or
SCSI signal cable
connections might be
incorrect
The AC power source
grounding might be
incorrect
