6.6.2 DLT2700 Loader Fault Description
A loader fault indicates the DLT2700 detected a fatal error in the loader transfer
assembly or in the tape drive. In some loader transfer assembly errors, the subsystem
retries the error three times before indicating failure. All loader faults cause the Loader
Fault light and an associated subcode to light.
Loader Fault indicates errors in the loader transfer assembly, controller module, or
drive. The suspected fault location is indicated by the following slot lights:
• Slots 4 and 0a controller module
• Slots 5 and 0a loader transfer assembly
• Slots 6 and 0drive
__________________________Note _____________________________
Error lights do not blink. During hardware failures, the controller module
determines action.

When a loader fault occurs, the Load/Unload and Eject lights are on. When you press
the Load/Unload button, the DLT2700 attempts to clear the error. When you press
Eject, the receiver opens to let you access the magazine.

DLT2500/DLT2700 subsystem:
