All of the following must be true for this TIP to apply:


FIX:

  1.  Remove any cable (captured by the white cable clamp located  at the right rear of bay #3) from the cable clamp.
  2.  Remove the cable clamp.


DETAIL:

When the "IBM 35/70GB Internal Tape Drive" is located in bays 3 and 4 of the System, a white cable clamp, if installed, can press against the housing of the Tape Drive causing a false activation of the cleaning light.
Removing the cable clamp resolves this issue.
