Drive operation and maintenance

Introduction

This chapter describes important operational procedures for the STT20000 SCSI

minicartridge drive. It covers the following topics:

• Operation of the front panel LED

• Using cartridges

• Loading revised firmware (updating flash EEPROM)

• Drive maintenance and troubleshooting

Front panel LED operation

The front panel of the Travan drive contains the cartridge opening and one amber,

light-emitting diode (LED). This LED is lit when the tape is NOT at the beginning of

the tape. Thus, the LED shows tape movement when lit.

Figure 4-1 shows the front panel of the internal drive.
