Performing the Initial Power On

The procedure you use to perform the initial power on depends on how long the tape drive has been stored. If you are not sure how long the tape drive has been stored, check the MLCH (machine level control history) label on the top of the tape drive to find out when the tape drive was manufactured. Although the tape drive may have been operated since it was manufactured, for the purpose of the initial power on, assume that it has been stored throughout this period.

Tape Drive Stored for Less Than Six Months

If the tape drive has been stored for less than six months, the only step you need to perform for the initial power-on is to apply power to the tape drive.
