Defective drive.
Drive amplifier settings could be off, causing error rate degradation. The drive may have failed.
High Humidity To minimize the chance of condensation, please observe the following guidelines:
After exposing cartridges to temperatures outside the operating limits (5-40°C/40-113°F), stabilize
them before use by keeping the cartridges at room temperature for a minimum of two hours.
Avoid temperature problems by ensuring that the ventilator slots at the front of the drive and the grille
on the bottom of the chassis are not obstructed so that the drive has adequate ventilation.
Position the drive where the temperature is relatively stable, for example, away from open windows,
fan heaters, and doors.
Avoid leaving cartridges in severe temperature conditions, for example, in a car stand ing in bright
sunlight.
Avoid transferring data (reading from and writing to cartridges) wh en the temperature is changing by
more than 10°C per hour.
