Self-Test

When the storage system is powered-on, the DDS tape module performs a diagnostic self-test. During the self-test, the tape light flashes green. When the tape light goes off, the DDS tape module is ready to accept a DDS tape cartridge. If the clean light changes to steady amber, the self-test has failed and you should contact your HP service representative.
