The system does not recognize the DS9000 Series unit

The SCSI terminator may not be at the end of the bus, or more than two terminators may be present

1.The SCSI bus might be too long.

Be sure to install a terminator at each end of the bus. One terminator is usually installed at the host system.

1.Limit the SCSI bus length to 3 meters (9.8 feet) for SE configurations, 12 meters (39.4 feet) for LVD/SE configurations, and 25 meters (82 feet) for HVD configurations.

2. Too many devices might be 2.

Limit the number of devices

Check the system configuration rules.

The DS9000 Series unit does not power up

All right or all left indicator panel LEDs on the drive front panel blink

Undetermined fatal or nonfatal errors have been detected.

The DS9000 Series unit has no power

A drive fault has occurred

The bus termination or SCSI signal cable connections might be incorrect

Check the DS9000 Series unit power cord connections with the DS9000 Series unit power switch OFF.

Try to unload the tape and reinitialize the drive by pressing the Unload button or turn the DS9000 Series unit power off and then on again.

The LEDs will stop blinking and the drive will try to reinitialize. The LEDs will turn on steady again and go off if the test succeeds.

Make sure the SCSI bus is terminated.
