Quantum DLT 7000 Tape Drive 2-19
Table 2–7 Density LED Functionality
Density LED
(Amber)
Description
2.6 On = Tape is recorded in 2.6 GB format.
Blinking = Tape is being forced by operator to record in this density; 2.6 GB
has been selected for a WRITE from BOT.
6.0 On = Tape is recorded in 6.0 GB format.
Blinking = Tape is being forced by operator to record in this density; 6.0 GB
has been selected for a WRITE from BOT.
10.0 / 15.0 On = Tape is recorded in 10.0 GB (DLTtape III cartridge) / 15.0 GB (DLTtape
IIIxt cartridge) format (62,500 BPI density).
Blinking = Tape is being forced by operator to record in this density, 10.0
GB / 15.0 GB has been selected for a WRITE from BOT.
20.0 On = Tape is recorded in 20.0 GB (DLTtape IV cartridge) format (85,633 BPI
density).
Blinking = Tape is being forced by operator to record in this density, 35.0 GB
has been selected for a WRITE from BOT.
35.0 On = Tape is recorded in 35.0 GB format (81,937 BPI density).
Blinking = Tape is being forced by operator to record in this density, 35.0 GB
has been selected for a WRITE from BOT.
Note that these LEDs operate only if the correct media is loaded in the drive. For example,
the default density of a DLTtape IV cartridge is 20.0 GB; if you are using a DLTtape IV
cartridge, the density must be set to 20.0 GB. If you set the density to a different setting, the
LEDs do not light and the density function does not work properly.
