Over the weekend my Powervault 124T with a Quantum LTO-4 drive in it started to display an error message related to the temperature being too high.
Over Temperature!
Sys: 59C (this varies slightly) DCA: 4C
I've tried powering on and off and disconnecting from the server.
Looking up this in the manual it basically says to check the fans (they are blowing) and to check that there are no blockages. It took awhile but briefly the unit was fine enough (not sure if having a fan blow at it helped) to get the tape ejected from the drive. However the message now always displays. Since we're out of warranty I'd like to repair this thing myself. The error is an autoloader error not a drive. Where is the sensor in the unit that is detecting this or is this a false message? I'm guessing maybe the controller interface board I see on eBay?
