Drive does not come ready

Insure the cartridge is properly oriented and fully inserted.

Insure the cartridge is not broken and the tape appears in good condition.

Motor starts to drive cartridge but stops immediately

Check the cartridge for tape run-off, or excessive torque. Replace cartridge if
required.

Drive will not write but will read previously written tapes

Make sure the cartridge is not write-protected.

Make sure the cartridge is a Travan 40 cartridge, not a Travan 5 or older Travan
cartridge.

Verify proper cable attachment to the host PC.

If this does not correct the problem, contact Seagate Technical Support (see
page 21).

Tape does not stream

Host data handshake may be too slow. Check BIOS setting for ATAPI interface
mode; the interface chipset may not be capable of high speed PIO mode. Some
backup application software is capable of higher transfer rates than others. Other
Host activity could restrict backup operation transfer rate.

If a power interruption occurs during a backup or restore operation, start over when
the power is restored.
