Power Vault 114X error code 6

Have this issue:

Tape loader Dell Power Vault 114X

Sympthoms:

ID error number 6 on display

Reason:
This error number, means that device has a problem by ejecting the media tape.

Possible solutions:
1. Try to press and hold the EJECT button on the front of the library  (TIP: hold the button arround 15 to 20 seconds). Then, the led will start to blink in green, after that, release the EJECT button, and wait to the tape come out.

2. Power off  completelly the library, after power it up, the media ejection should perform automatically.

3. Power off the library, then open chassis and remove the SCSI cable, as soon as you power on, try to eject the media by pressing the eject button.

4. If any of these steps do no work, I strongly recommend to open a support case with Dell. Your  tape library must be under warranty.


After resolution, you might experience the C code.

This means that needs a cleaning process, you can perform this action by placing a cleanning cartridge like this.
