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.
