If a problem occurs, the first step is to try to establish whether the problem lies with the cartridge, the

drive, the host computer and connections, or the way the system is being operated.

There could be an installation problem:

Check through the information in the relevant installation chapter of this guide.

Has the system booted? If not, check that all hard disks are correctly seated in the hard disk bay

and then check the cabling between the disks and the SAS controller.

Has the system booted but the operating system has not seen the tape drive? Check that the drive

has power, the Ready LED should be illuminated. If it is not, check that the power cord is connected

correctly to the tape drive. If the Ready LED is illuminated, check the cabling between the tape

drive and the SAS controller. Ensure that the HBA port to which the drive is connected is enabled.

Are appropriate Tape drivers as well as supported application software installed on the host?

Check the environmental conditions against the specified limits.

If the Tape LED is flashing, the cartridge is probably faulty. Try using a different cartridge.

Try the operation again.

If the problem still occurs and you have not yet replaced the cartridge, try using a different

cartridge.

If the problem is still there, the problem probably lies with the drive or the host computer.
