Your HP StorageWorks Ultrium tape drive

Your Ultrium tape drive has four LEDs (light emitting diodes) on the front panel, which indicate drive 

status. These LEDs provide useful troubleshooting information, see also “Understanding the LEDs” 

on page 42. See page 23 for more information about using the eject button in normal operation 

and page 46 for details about force eject and emergency reset.

Front panel LEDs

There are four LEDs as illustrated in the diagram. (See Figure.)

Ready (top, green)

• On: the drive is ready for use
• Off: the drive power is off or there was a failure during self-test
• Flashing:  the  drive  is  busy
• Flashing repeated pattern: the drive is in OBDR mode

Drive Error (second, amber)

• Off: no fault has been detected
• Flashing: the drive mechanism has detected a hardware error.

Tape Error (third, amber)

• Off: no fault has been detected
• Flashing: the tape currently in the drive is faulty. This LED could come on for a number of reasons, 

but they all relate to the tape being in error in some way, such as unreadable cartridge memory 

or unsupported tape. Do not use the cartridge; replace it. The LED will go out when a tape load 

is started.

Clean (Ultrium 960 and 460) or Use Cleaning Cartridge (Ultrium 230) - bottom, amber

• On: cleaning cartridge in use
• Off: the drive does not require cleaning
• Flashing: the drive needs cleaning

Accessibility features

The front panel of the HP StorageWorks Ultrium 960 and 460 tape drive has been designed for 

increased accessibility for persons with disabilities. This includes larger font labeling of the Status 

LEDs and an Eject button that has been designed for ease of use.
