Default My DLT7000 drive is light up like a Xmas tree.............................................. .What is wrong??

I turn my beloved dlt7000 drive on and in about 5 minutes, it buzzes and all the lights on the left and on the right light up and initiates a reboot
of the drive where it buzzes and lights up all the light then go into a temporary ready mode. Then in a about two minutes, it starts all over again.
It's driving crazy. Someone please help the bug!!! Thanx in advance.

If it isn't the drive itself, the power supply would be the next thing to
check, followed by a stalled cooling fan of the enclosure.

I think I've seen that before. I think your drive is bad. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
