5.6.2Over Temperature Condition
The SDLT 600 tape drive has a thermal sensor located in the tape path. This sensor, which is used to accurately monitor the air temperature in the tape path, issues a TapeAlert warning at 47 °C, and detects an overtemp condition when the temperature in the tape path reaches 50 degrees C. When the tape path temperature sensor detects an overtemp condition, the tape rewinds, unloads, and ejects from the tape drive. (As long as the tape drive is not mounted in a tape automation library, the tape ejects.) SCSI status indicates the tape drive is in the over temperature condition.
If the tape drive is mounted in a tape automation library, the data cartridge rewinds to BOT and unbuckles in preparation for unloading, but does not automatically eject. For more information, refer to SDLT 600 Design and Integration Guide
