This appendix defines error messages that may appear on the autoloader’s 

operator panel and provides corrective actions. 

 

  

 lists autoloader error messages in alphabetical order. If the suggested 

corrective action does not correct the error, contact Exabyte Technical Support 

(see 

) or your service provider.

Most autoloader components can be replaced only by Exabyte-approved service 

providers. If you cannot find an obvious cause for the problem, contact your 

service provider. Do not attempt to replace any components other than the tape 

drive. If you do, you will void your warranty.

Some corrective actions advise you to reset or power the 

autoloader off and back on. To avoid disrupting 

communication between the host computer and other devices 

on the bus, make sure that there is no activity on the bus 

before you reset or power off the autoloader.
If you need to power the autoloader off, first unload the 

cartridge from the tape drive, if possible. If you power the 

autoloader off and back on while a cartridge is in the tape 

drive, the drive may have to perform a lengthy format recovery 

process.
