Attention LED

Drive Sled Issues:

 

Whenever there is a hardware configuration change such as drives being swapped

 

with different form factors (i.e. HH to FH or FH to HH), a library configuration

 

change is needed. Reconfiguring the library by reassigning the amount of logical

 

libraries will clear this issue. Navigate to the Web User Interface Configure

 

Library Logical Libraries or to the Operator Control Panel’s Configure

 

Library section and reassign the logical libraries.

 

v Install a drive sled (see “Isolating Drive Sled Problems” on page 7-10).

 

v Modify or resubmit Logical Library setting (Operator Control Panel: Configure

 

Logical Libraries or Web User Interface: Configure Library Logical

 

Libraries).

 

v Restore factory defaults (Operator Control Panel: Configure Restore Defaults

 

or Web User Interface: Configure Library Restore Defaults).

 

Media Issues:

 

Avoid contamination by ensuring that the library is installed in a clean,

 

contamination-free environment. Continue cleaning the tape drive as needed.

 

Refer to “Choosing a Location” on page 4-1.

 

A cartridge should be acclimated for at least 24 hours before being used,

 

particularly if it has been stored at a substantially different temperature or level of

 

humidity than the library. Refer to “Provide Proper Acclimation and

 

Environmental Conditions” on page 6-7.

 

Any cartridge that is suspected of being defective or contaminated should NOT be

 

reused, in any drive.

 

Power Supply or Fan Issues:

 

Check the power supply (or redundant power supply) for failure, and also check

 

any power supply fans. Replace any defective units. Refer to “System Status” on

 

page 2-6for a redundant power supply failure on a 4U library and“Isolating a

 

Power Supply Problem” on page 7-8

 

Another method of determining why the Attention LED is turned ON, log in to

 

the Web User Interface and select Service Library View Logs Warning Log.

 

 

Clean Drive LED

v Ensure that you are using an Ultrium universal cleaning cartridge (see

 

“Cleaning Cartridge” on page 6-3).

 

v Ensure that the cleaning cartridge has not expired. A drive will automatically

 

eject an expired cleaning cartridge. A cleaning cartridge is good for 50 cleans. If

 

your cleaning cartridge has expired, order a new cleaning cartridge.

 

v If the problem still exists, contact technical support.

Error LED

Make a note of the error and sub error code, then refer to Chapter 8, “Error

 

Codes,” on page 8-1.To check the library error log, log on to the Web User

 

Interface and click Service Library, then View Logs.
