... corresponding error descriptions. Turns out my LED pattern corresponds to "seek error during burn-in or recal". Hmm, OK - must be a problem with the head position sensor. It's a thru-beam flag sensor, so I dust mine off and reseat the connector, only to get the same result. Despite the warning label on the drives admonishing me "do not rotate interrupter", I power things down and rotate interrupter. Power back up and BINGO! No error. Hmm. Power down again. Power up. Still no error. Repeat for the other drives, same result.
If you rotate the interrupter while the drive is SPINNING it should be safe as the heads are then floating on an air cushion...with the drive powered down you would probably scratch the surface sooner or later.
