Operator action required:

 

The tape subsystem does not detect a magazine in the ACF. If a

 

magazine is installed in the ACF, clear the condition by removing and

 

then replacing the magazine in the ACF. Try another or a different

NO MAGAZINE

magazine. If the condition persists or a FID message is displayed,

 

report any FID codes to your service representative.

 

The operator can use the tape subsystem by loading cartridges into the

 

priority cell in all modes except in Random mode. Random mode

 

requires a magazine to be installed and locked.

contamination on the sides of the cartridge that could cause the pinch

rollers to slip. Clean or replace the cartridge.

 

 

Note: Do not ship magazines with cartridges loaded. The cartridges

 

will vibrate in the magazine slots resulting in contamination on the

 

sides of the cartridges that may cause this failure.

Operator action required:

 

When the tape subsystem placed a cartridge in the priority cell, the

 

cartridge was placed either beyond or in front of the Export position.

 

When the cartridge is not in the Export position, it is possible that a

PRIORITY EXPORT ER

cartridge placed in front of the Export position may unexpectedly be

 

reused. When a cartridge is placed beyond the Export position, it is

 

possible that the cartridge will not be detected in the priority cell.

 

Correct either of these conditions by removing the cartridge from the

 

priority cell.

 

 

 

Operator intervention or possible service representative corrective

 

action required.

TEMP AC PWR DIP

Select Unload on the operator panel and press Enter. If the device fails

 

 

to unload the cartridge, note any FID messages and call your service

 

representative.
