If the LTO standalone fails during POST or operation, use the following table to determine the problem and the action to take:
Table 4-1 Troubleshooting Chart
Condition Possible cause Corrective action
The host system does not
recognize the LTO standalone
unit
The system may not be configured
to recognize the SCSI ID
Configure the system to see the ID.
The SCSI ID might not be unique Change the SCSI ID and reconfigure the
system. The new ID takes effect at the next
power-on.
The parameters for the SCSI
adapter may be incorrect
Check the SCSI adapter installation.
The SCSI cable may be loose Make sure the connector on each end of the
cable is fully seated and the jackscrews are
secure.
The SCSI terminator may not be
present or might be loose
Install the terminator; make sure the
terminator is fully seated and the
jackscrews are secure.
The SCSI bus may not be correctly
terminated
If the LTO standalone unit is the last or
only device on the bus, make sure the
terminator is installed on the LTO
standalone.
If the LTO standalone unit is not the last or
only device on the bus, check the cable
connections and make sure the terminator
is installed at the end of the bus.
The SCSI terminator may not be at
the end of the bus, or more than
two terminators may be present
Be sure to install a terminator at each end
of the bus. One terminator is usually
installed at the host system.
The SCSI bus might be too long Limit the SCSI bus length to 12 meters
(39.4 feet) for LVD configurations, and 25
meters (82 feet) for HVD configurations.
Too many devices might be on the
bus
Limit the number of devices on the bus.
Check the system configuration rules.
The LTO standalone unit does
not power up
The LTO standalone unit has no
power
Check the LTO standalone unit power
cable connections with the LTO standalone
unit power switch OFF.
Undetermined fatal or nonfatal
errors have been detected.
The bus termination or SCSI signal
cable connections might be
incorrect
Make sure the SCSI bus is terminated.
The AC power source grounding
might be incorrect
Use an AC outlet for the LTO standalone
unit on the same AC circuit as the AC line
powering the host system.
The single-character display
presents any character other than
c.
A drive fault has occurred Try to unload the tape and reinitialize the
drive by pressing the Unload button or
turn the LTO standalone unit power off and
then on again.
The single-character display will go blank
and the drive will try to reinitialize. The
single-character display will turn on and
display several characters and then go off if
the reinitialization succeeds.
