Abstract: NETFINITY 7000: DLT TAPE OPTION CLEANING LIGHT REMAINS ON
SYMPTOM:
The cleaning light (amber color LED located on the right column
of LED's) on the IBM 35/70GB Internal DLT Tape Drive remains on.
PROBLEM ISOLATION AIDS:
All of the following must be true for this TIP to apply:
- The System is a Netfinity 7000 server Type 8651 model RM0, RH0, TM0, TH0.
- The System is properly configured with a IBM 35/70GB
Internal DLT Tape Drive Option P/N 00K7900 (FRU P/N 00K7898)
in bays 3 and 4.
- Cleaning the Tape Drive with a supported cleaning cartridge
has no effect on the Cleaning light Symptom.
FIX:
- Remove any cable (captured by the white cable clamp located
at the right rear of bay #3) from the cable clamp.
- Remove the cable clamp.
DETAIL:
When the "IBM 35/70GB Internal Tape Drive" is located in bays 3
and 4 of the System, a white cable clamp, if installed, can
press against the housing of the Tape Drive causing a false
activation of the cleaning light.
Removing the cable clamp resolves this issue.
