Table 15-2 contains a list of the ASC and ASCQ values that will appear in the

indicates the corrective action for each abnormal state. The Except field of an
element descriptor indicates if the element is in an abnormal state.
Table 15-2 ASC and ASCQ values for abnormal element conditions
ASC ASCQ Description Corrective Action
83h 00h Label questionable The bar code label is questionable. Issue an INITIALIZE
ELEMENT STATUS (07h) or INITIALIZE ELEMENT STATUS
WITH RANGE (E7h) command.
83h 01h Cannot read bar code
label or invalid
checksum value
Replace the label as described in the Magnum 1x7 LTO
Autoloader Product Manual. If the error still occurs and the
label is correctly placed, contact your vendor. For specifications
for the bar code labels that can be used with the autoloader,
refer to the Exabyte Bar Code Label Specification for LTO
Ultrium Cartridges.
83h 03h Label and full status
questionable
The autoloader was powered on or the cartridge access port
door was opened. The cartridge inventory may have been
violated. Issue an INITIALIZE ELEMENT STATUS (07h) or
INITIALIZE ELEMENT STATUS WITH RANGE (E7h) command.
Note: If the element is a tape drive that is empty or contains a
data cartridge (not ejected), issuing an INITIALIZE ELEMENT
STATUS or INITIALIZE ELEMENT STATUS WITH RANGE will
not change the questionability of the full status. You may want
to issue an UNLOAD command to the tape drive to determine
whether the tape drive is full or empty.
83h 04h Tape drive not
installed
There is no tape drive installed. Install a tape drive or ignore the
error.
83h 09h No bar code label If the cartridge does not have a bar code label, place a label on
the cartridge as described in the Magnum 1x7 LTO Autoloader
Product Manual. If there is a bar code label and it is placed
correctly, contact your vendor. For specifications for the bar
code labels that can be used with the autoloader, refer to the
Exabyte Bar Code Label Specification for LTO Ultrium
Cartridges.
