Understanding the LEDs

LEDs during self-test

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

drive status, and two LEDs on the rear panel. These LEDs provide useful troubleshooting

information.
The tape drive performs a power on self-test whenever power is applied or the drive is reset.

The test takes about 5 seconds. The LED sequence for each drive is described in the following

table.

table 4: self-test LED sequence

Note

The LED labels are identical apart from the bottom one, which is Clean on the Ultrium 960

and 460 and Use Cleaning Cartridge on the Ultrium 230. All references to Clean in the

following table should, therefore, read Use Cleaning Cartridge if you have an Ultrium 230

drive.

1 The green Ready light flashes several

times and then remains on if self-test

passes. All other LEDs remain off.

2 If the self-test fails, the Drive Error and

Tape Error LEDs flash, while the Ready

and Clean LEDs are off. This continues

until the drive is reset.

1 The green Ready light and the three orange

lights for the other LEDs flash briefly and then

go out.

2 The green Ready LED flashes and then

remains on if self-test passes.

3 If the self-test fails, the Drive Error and Tape

Error LEDs flash, while the Ready and Use

Cleaning Cartridge LEDs are off. This

continues until the drive is reset.
