Hi all,
I just install a DAT drive to backup my server content but aparently I
have some problemns with the device.
Each time I put a tape on the reader, it performs a 12 seconds check
(blinking green light at left led) and the tape was ejected.
Any clue or suggestion?

The tape driver is an Hewlett Packard
C1554A DDS-3 SCCI DAT driver
and the tape is a DDS-3 125 tape

regards

I'd try two things immediately.
1) Another tape
2) Double check that the SCSI drive (or SCSI chain) is properly terminated.
