60 LTO-5 Tape Drive User’s Guide
Are you using new cartridges or a different brand of
cartridge? Have you been using the particular cartridge for a
very long time?
The problem could lie with the cartridge:
1 Check through the Chapter 3, Operation
and table 3 on page 31.
2 Check that you are using an Ultrium cartridge. Compatible media
can be recognized by the Ultrium logo, which is the same as the
logo on the front of your drive.
3 Use the correct media type:
• Ultrium 3TB R/W or Ultrium 3TB WORM cartridges with LTO-5
tape drives
• Ultrium 1.6TB R/W or Ultrium 1.6TB WORM cartridges with LTO-
4 tape drives
• Ultrium 800 GB R/W or Ultrium 800 GB WORM cartridges with
LTO-3 tape drives
• Ultrium 400 GB R/W cartridges with LTO-2 tape drives
4 Has the cartridge been write-protected, see Write Protecting a Tape
Cartridge on page 29?
5 Clean the tape heads with the cleaning cartridge, see Cleaning the
Tap e D r iv e on page 34. Make sure you are using the Ultrium
Universal cleaning cartridge, C7978A.
6 If the Ta p e L E D is flashing, the cartridge is probably faulty. Try using
a different cartridge.
7 Try the operation again.
8 If the problem still occurs and you have not yet replaced the
cartridge, try using a different cartridge.
9 If the problem is still there, the problem probably lies with the drive
or the host computer.
