Hi!

I have a rather old DLT7000 drive that is part of a compaq TL881 tape
library. When the drive is powered up the drive beeps four times
quickly, pauses, and beeps one long beep. The "Write protect", "Tape
in Use" and "Use cleaning tape" LEDs flash, and the "operate handle"
LED stays on solid. Also, the handle release solenoid clicks as well,
but no other movements.

I've taken the top off the drive, and checked for a dropped leader,
the leader is in good shape.

I assume the flashing LEDs are an indication of some sort of error, is
there anyone here who might know what the error is?

Damn, I don't have my copy of the manual on this machine, or I'd send
you a copy.

You can download it from Quantums website:

They also have diagnostic software, if you're running Windows.
