When you first power on the Dell PowerVault 124T LTO-3 autoloader, it automatically runs a Power-On Self-Test (POST). During the POST, the left (green) LED flashes. After the POST, the left (green) and right (amber) LED flash alternately back and forth. Do one of the following:

•If the autoloader powers on successfully, continue configuring the autoloader (see "Configuring the Autoloader").

NOTE: The front panel requires a six-digit password to change the configuration (see "Setting Passwords"). The LCD front panel default password for the Administrator is 000000. The default password for the Operator is 111111.

•If the autoloader does not power on successfully, check the following:

¡Power switch is on.

¡Power cable is inserted correctly.

¡SCSI bus is terminated.

¡SCSI cable is connected to the autoloader and host computer.

¡No error code appears on the autoloader LCD.

If you cannot resolve the problem yourself, contact your service representative or go to support.dell.com.

If you want to use Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) to change the IP address, see "Setting the IP Address." To determine the IP address when using DHCP, view the Ethernet status information (see "Viewing Ethernet Information").
