Problem Corrective Action
The library does not power
on.
Make sure the power cord is connected to a dedicated,
grounded electrical outlet and the power switch behind the
slide panel just below the GUI is on.
The library or tape drives do
not respond on the SCSI bus.
Make sure each SCSI device on the same SCSI bus has a unique
address and the last device is properly terminated.
During initialization, the
library reports “Not Ready.”
Determine the failure type by checking any previous error codes
returned to the host computer. Correct the cause of the error.
One or more tape drives fail
to spin up during start-up.
Check all SCSI cabling and termination behind the center back
access door. If necessary, contact your field service engineer
about replacing the drives.
The library starts up in
standby mode.
Press the Standby button to verify that the library switches to
on-line mode. You can use the GUI to select either on-line or
standby mode at power up.
