Table 5. Operator Messages
Message Operator Response
ACF IRQ FAULT Service representative intervention required.
ACF MESSAGE
MISSING
Service representative intervention required.
ACF NOT ENABLED
Operator intervention required.
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.
WIPE FAILED
Operator intervention required
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.
CLEAN REQUIRED
The Clean Required message indicates that the drive is fenced, and
will not be usable until a cleaner cartridge is loaded. This happens if a
customer ignores cleaner messages for a long time.
CALL FOR SERVICE
Operator Action Required
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.
CLEAR PICKER PATH
Operator intervention or possible service representative corrective
action required.
Operator action required:
The tape subsystem detects the presence of a possible blockage in the
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
FAILURE
The ERP Reload Failure message should be treated the same as the
LOAD ERROR message.
EXTRA CARTRIDGE
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
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).
