Troubleshooting with Tape Blade LEDs

The UID LED helps you identify the location of a specific Tape Blade, if several are installed in an
enclosure. It can be toggled on and off.

The system health LED flashes red whenever the Tape Blade connection is established with the enclosure;
either immediately after installation or when the Tape Blade is removed and reinserted. If it continues
to flash for more than 2 minutes, there is a fault. Make sure that the partner server was powered down
before the Tape Blade was installed.

If the fault condition persists, other causes are:

c7000 enclosures only: The enclosure firmware is earlier than version 1.30. (In a c3000 enclosure
all versions of the firmware support the HP StorageWorks Tape Blade.) For the best reliability,
performance and new features update to the most recent version of the firmware.

The adjacent blade is not a server blade

The Tape Blade is adjacent to a full-height partner server blade but a mezzanine card has not
been installed, see
