User Manual Statements for Class B Equipment (Tabletop Tape Drive)

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more, of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio /TV technician for help.

The user may find the following booklet prepared by the Federal Communications Commission helpful: How to Identify and Resolve Radio-TV Interference Problems. This booklet is available from the U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington D.C., 20402. Stock No. 004-00398-5

LED Indicators DLT VS160 Product Specification

3.1 LED Indicators

The tape drive has four light emitting diodes (LEDs). This section describes the functions of the LEDs.

NOTE: The front panel controls and indicators are in the same locations on both

the internal and tabletop tape drives. The tabletop tape drive has a Power LED.

3.1.1 Power-On Self-Test (POST) Indicator Activity

Each time you apply power to the tape drive, or reset the tape drive, it performs a power-on self-test (POST). During POST, the LEDs illuminate one at a time, from left to right. First, the Ready LED

(Green) comes on, followed by the Fault LED (Orange) approximately one second later, then the Clean LED (Orange) approximately one second later, then four seconds later the Media LED (Orange) illuminates. Each LED signifies a different portion of the power-on process. All LEDs turn

off momentarily. If no data cartridge is loaded in the tape drive, the Ready LED then illuminates steadily and POST is complete. This process takes approximately eight seconds. If a data cartridge is in the tape drive during POST, the Ready LED flashes until the tape drive executes a mid-tape load, which can take several minutes. As POST completes, the tape drive makes a faint buzzing noise for several seconds. The noise associated with this activity is normal for this technology and does not indicate a problem with the tape drive.

3.1.2 Normal Operation — Ready LED Indicator Activity

During normal operation, the Ready LED displays one of the three following states. The Ready LED acts independently of the other LEDs.

Table 3-2. Normal Operation — Ready LED Indicator Activity

State Description

Off Indicates that there is no power to the tape drive. On Indicates that power is on, no data cartridge is loaded, or a loaded data cartridge is

idle with no tape motion.

Blinking A data cartridge is in the process of loading, or there is tape motion on a loaded data

cartridge. Tape motion includes reading, writing, locating, rewinding, calibrating, and so on.

3-2 September 2004 81-81275-01 REV A02

DLT VS160 Product Specification Chapter 3: Functional Specifications

3.1.3 Normal Operation — Fault / Clean / Media LEDs Indicator Activity

The Fault, Clean, and Media LEDs work together to display the status of the tape drive. Table 3-3. Normal Operation — Fault / Clean / Media LEDs Indicator Activity

Fault Clean Media Description

– Unsupported format, unsupported data cartridge type, or

damaged data cartridge A DLT1 (DLT VS 80) formatted DLTtape™ IV data

cartridge is loaded.

– Calibration error or permanent write/read error

Cleaning required—250 tape motion hours exceeded since last cleaning

– Cleaning in process

Key

–Off

User invoked write/read diagnostic failed

Servo or mechanical error

– – Internal firmware error

Blinking–slow (approximately once per second)

Blinking–medium (approximately twice per second)

Blinking–fast (approximately three times per second)

Indicates that the status of this LED does not depend on the specific tape drive condition. This means that certain tape drive conditions may result in a combination of two or more of the LED states in the chart. For example, if you need to clean the tape drive while a DLT1 tape is loaded, both the Clean LED and Media LED are on steadily. If an internal write/read diagnostic fails due to a permanent write error, both the Fault LED and Clean LED blink slowly.

Unload Button Functions DLT VS160 Product Specification

3.2 Unload Button Functions

You can use the unload button to unload and eject data cartridges, and for the additional features shown in the following table. Press and hold the eject button for the time specified in the following table to activate one of these features. Release the button when the LEDs display the desired sequence.

AUTION The two features noted in the following table will over-write

any data on the data cartridge. Do not use these features if the data cartridge in the tape drive contains critical data.

3.3 Unload Button Actions

This section describes what happens when you release the unload button (as indicated in the previous section).

Table 3-5. Unload Button Actions

Function/Mode Action

Normal unload function Release the unload button to unload the data cartridge. Enter code load tape mode Release the unload button to accept a data cartridge that contains the

firmware image (code load). The LEDs then indicate code load mode. Insert the data cartridge to begin the code update. The tape drive returns to normal operation if you do not load a data cartridge within 15 seconds.

Read/write diagnostic start CAUTION: This feature overwrites any data currently on the data

cartridge. Before performing this action, confirm that the data cartridge in the tape drive does not contain critical data.

Release the unload button to start an internal read/write diagnostic. You must load a data cartridge to run the diagnostic. The tape drive writes and reads 400 MB of data, then unloads the data cartridge. This process takes approximately two minutes. The tape drive returns to normal operation if it detects no errors. The appropriate LEDs illuminate if an error occurs.

Emergency reset Release the unload button to force an internal reset. The tape drive

initializes as if you turned power off and then on (POST).

Revert back to normal mode Release the unload button to return the tape drive to normal operation.

81-81275-01 REV A02 September 2004 3-5

Diagnostic Mode Event Codes DLT VS160 Product Specification

3.4 Diagnostic Mode Event Codes

Press, hold, and release the unload button after six to nine seconds to start the diagnostic mode. This displays the most recent event code. The unload button then becomes a scroll button for additional event codes. Press and release the unload button for the next most recent event code. You can display up to five total events using this method. Refer to Table 3-6 for details about the meaning of the various patterns.

After you display the final available event code, the next button press causes all LEDs to flash indicating that the next eight hex characters displayed are the detailed error code of the most recent event. The first character is either a hex E (error) or a B (bug check). You can look up the remaining seven characters in the error/bug check definition tables. When you display the last (eighth) detailed error code digit, the next button press returns the tape drive to normal operation. All indications are a four bit hex value.

During any time in this procedure, the tape drive returns to normal operation if you perform no scroll action within 15 seconds.
