[. . . ] The Operate Handle, Write Protected, and Use Cleaning Tape LEDs will turn OFF. If your external SCSI bus terminator(s) have a Term Power LED it should also be illuminated. Drive Status After completion of the drive POST and initialization, each drive will be in one of the four states listed in the following table: Drive State 1. When the Tape in Use LED stops blinking and stays ON, the tape's actual density lights. For example, if the actual tape density is 2. 6, then the LED turns ON next to the 2. 6 label. When the Tape in Use LED stops blinking and stays ON, the tape's actual density lights. For example, if the actual tape density is 2. 6, then the LED turns ON next to the 2. 6 label. You may try to unload the tape and reinitialize the drive by pressing the Unload key or turn power OFF and then ON again. The right or left side LEDs stop blinking and the drive tries to reinitialize. The LEDs turn ON steadily again and then turn OFF if the test succeeds. 3. A cartridge is present, but the handle is open. 4. The drive detects an error condition. The drive POST completes in about 13 seconds on each drive, and the drives will respond normally to all commands. However, it may take longer for the media to become ready. Operation and Maintenance 17 Drive Operating Conditions Use the following illustrations and tables to determine each drive's operating condition: Figure 3-1 DLT 7000 Drive Front Panel Figure 3-2 DLT 7000 Drive Front Panel 18 Operation and Maintenance LED Label (Right Indicator Panel) Color Orange Yellow State ON OFF Blinking ON Operating Condition Tape is write-protected.

However, if the drive is writing to the tape, write protect does not take effect until the write operation completes. Before loading the data cartridge, if you move the Write-Protect switch to the left, the tape is writeprotected; the Write Protected LED (orange) is ON and data cannot be written to, or erased from, the tape. Before loading the data cartridge, if you move the Write-Protect switch to the right, the tape is writeenabled and data can be written to, or erased from, the tape (if it is not software write-protected). After loading the data cartridge and during operation, if you move the Write-Protect switch from the writeprotected position (to the left) to the write-enabled position (to the right), the tape becomes write-enabled after a variable amount of time (seconds).
