Troubleshooting

Before calling for service, locate the serial and model numbers for your Autoloader. The serial and models numbers are located inside the Autoloader under the magazine. For problems that may be related to the host or application software, refer to the host system documentation or to the application software instructions. CAUTION Do not cycle power while the device is active on the SCSI bus. Cycling power when the SCSI bus is active can cause data loss and/or problems with the SCSI interface. Troubleshooting Table Problem Autoloader will not power on or no display messages appear. What to do Check the power cord connections. Make sure the standby switch is on. Make sure there is power to the outlet. Replace the power cord with a known good one. If the Autoloader still wont power on, call a service representative. Power on self-test failed. DEVICE FAILED is displayed in the control panel with an error code on the next line. Remove all tapes and the magazine, then cycle power. If self-test passes, reload tapes and magazine. If the power-on test fails again, note the error code, and call a service representative.

Table 2-7

Operating the Autoloader Troubleshooting Table 2-7 Troubleshooting Table Problem Host unable to communicate. What to do Verify that SCSI bus adapter and terminator types match (HVDS, LVDS, or Single-Ended). Check cable and terminator for correct connections to the host and Autoloader. Check for bent or broken pins on cables and terminators. Replace cable and terminator with known good components. Check to see if operating mode is set to stacker (see Top-Level Menu Options on page 2-12). Caution: Unit may not meet EMI regulatory specifications if proper cable is not used. The Autoloaders power failed while a tape was in the drive and did not return to the ready state after the power came on. Press the standby switch off and then on again to run the power-on inventory test. If the power-on test is unsuccessful, switch off the power and call a service representative for assistance.

Verify that the transport is not obstructed and power cycle. If failure occurred when moving a tape to the magazine, ensure the silver tab is in the Up position. If not, load tape backwards and remove to leave the tab Up. If error occurs in internal slot, ensure silver tab is not in the Up position. Load tape backwards to retract the tab.
Time out unloading tape into the slot during a tape unload. This error can also occur during an extended scan magazine (a tape that was in the magazine is now on the transport).

hp DLT cartridges

up to 80 GB*
superior performance and capacity for high-performance servers
Optimum compatibility with HP Surestore and other DLTtape drives. Rated for 500,000 read/write passes representing an average of 10,000 cartridge uses. Guaranteed archival life of 20 years. Hewlett-Packards extensive test programme shows that an actual archival life of 30 years can be achieved. HP cartridges apply the latest advances in binder chemistry to the tape coating, providing increased durability and assuring highest performance under diverse conditions. The HP DLT1 cleaning cartridge must be used with the new HP Surestore DLT1 drive. Do not use the HP DLTtape cleaning cartridge as this will not fit into the DLT1 drive. HP DLTtape cartridges are designed to derive the highest capacity and performance from HP Surestore DLT drive and library systems supporting high-end servers. Use HP C5141F DLTtape IV cartridge for both the HP Surestore DLT40 and HP Surestore DLT80 tape back-up drives. Limited lifetime warranty. New HP automation bar code labels have been specifically tested for trouble free use on HP Surestore tape autoloaders and libraries.**
