Drive Power-on Self-Test

When you power up your Scalar Library , the DLT drives each perform a Power-on Self-Test (POST) while the library is performing the Power Up Checks. The sequence of events for each drive is:

1.The LEDs on the right front panel of the drive will turn on sequentially from top to bottom. All LEDs will remain ON for a few seconds.

2.The LEDs on the left front panel of the drive will turn ON at the same time for about three seconds and then turn OFF.

3.The Operate Handle, Write Protected, and Use Cleaning Tape LEDs will turn OFF. The

Tape in Use LED will blink while the tape drive initializes.

✔If your external SCSI bus terminator has a Term Power LED it should also be illuminated.
