Power-on Self-Test

When the system power is ON, the DLT drive performs a Power-on Self-Test (POST). The sequence of events is as follows:

1.The LEDs on the right front panel of the DLT 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 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 the external SCSI bus terminator has a Term Power LED it should also be illuminated.
