TAPE FLASHES

The drive believes the current
tape or the tape just ejected is
faulty.

Unload the tape cartridge. Make
sure that you are using the correct
format cartridge.

Reload the cartridge. If the Tape
LED still flashes or starts flashing
during the next backup, load a
new or known good cartridge.

If the Tape LED is now off, discard
the ’suspect’ tape cartridge. If it is
still on, call for service.

DRIVE FLASHES

The drive mechanism has
detected an error.

Load a new cartridge. If the error
persists, power cycle or reset the

If the Drive LED remains on, call
for service.
