2 If other LEDs are on, reset the tape drive by either:
• Pressing and holding the Eject button on the front panel for more
than 5 seconds and releasing it (both internal and tabletop
drives),
• Or by cycling the drive AC power switch off and on (tabletop
tape drive only).
3 Verify that the tape drive passes the Power On Self Test by viewing
LED activity. All LEDs should be off for approximately 20 to 30
seconds after the tape drive resets.
If the amber
Status LED is on and the orange Error LED is flashing
fast to indicate a Power On Self Test error, contact Technical Support
to resolve the possible problem with the tape drive.
4 If the
Power LED is on, all the other LEDs are off, and you still cannot
load a tape cartridge into the tape drive, examine the tape and the
inside of the tape drive.
• Verify that:
• There are no tape labels interfering with tape insertion.
• Tape labels are only on proper tape surfaces, and that labels
are flat and not curled.
• The tape drive opening is free of debris and tape labels.
• The tape pin and tape are fully within the cartridge.
• If you are inserting a cleaning cartridge, verify that the cleaning
tape:
• Is valid. The tape drive ejects unsupported cleaning tapes.
• Has not expired. See table 4
on page 37 for Cleaning
Cartridge at EOT.
5 Attempt to insert a different tape cartridge.
6 If a tape still cannot be inserted into the tape drive, contact Technical
Support to resolve the possible problem with the tape drive.
