Table 5. Operator Messages

Message	Operator Response
ACF IRQ FAULT	Service representative intervention required.
ACF MESSAGE	Service representative intervention required.
MISSING
	Operator intervention required.
ACF NOT ENABLED	Ensure cartridge is in ACF import position. For more information, see
	“Cartridge Magazine Positions” on page 52 and “Chapter 6. Identifying
	Subsystem Problems” on page 73.
	Operator intervention required
WIPE FAILED	A reformatted tape from 128-track to 256-track, or from 256-track to
	128-track, failed. To correct this error, attempt to reformat the tape back
	to its original tack configuration, or remove the tape from the library.
	The Clean Required message indicates that the drive is fenced, and
CLEAN REQUIRED	will not be usable until a cleaner cartridge is loaded. This happens if a
	customer ignores cleaner messages for a long time.
	Operator Action Required
CALL FOR SERVICE	The tape subsystem experienced a problem that requires service
	intervention. Note any message numbers and call your service
	representative. See Figure 7 on page 18.
	Operator intervention or possible service representative corrective
	action required.
	Operator action required:
	The tape subsystem detects the presence of a possible blockage in the
CLEAR PICKER PATH	cartridge path, such as in the magazine or in the priority cell. Check
	the position of all cartridges to ensure they are properly positioned in
	the magazine and in the priority cell. (A cartridge that extends too far
	into the magazine in the import position or perhaps a damaged
	cartridge could cause this error.) If this condition is not cleared,
	remove the magazine and look for any obvious obstructions. Replace
	the magazine in the ACF. If the condition persists or a FID message is
	displayed, report any FID codes to your service representative.
ERP RELOAD	The ERP Reload Failure message should be treated the same as the
FAILURE	LOAD ERROR message.
	Operator intervention required:
	The tape subsystem loaded a cartridge from the magazine and
	detected that another cartridge was placed in its home position. The
	tape subsystem will attempt to place the now displaced cartridge in
	the priority cell awaiting operator action. If the priority cell is full, it
EXTRA CARTRIDGE	will eject the cartridge when the priority slot is unloaded. If the
	priority cell is empty and the cartridge fails to eject, a problem may
	exist with the priority cell that may require possible service
	representative corrective action.
	Ensure that no cartridge has been inserted into an ‘in use’ cell (green
	LED on).
