switching on the drive

Internal drives are powered on when you switch on your computer.

Switch on external drives using the power switch on the rear of the drive, and then switch on the computer.

if you have problems during self test

If all the LED lights on the front panel are flashing at the end of the self-test, this indicates a fault has occurred:

If you have just installed the drive, check the installation for loose connections and repeat the self-test.

Try the troubleshooting procedures to determine what the problem is.

If the fault condition persists, call for assistance.

resetting the drive

The drive can be reset without powering off the drive and computer, for example, if the drive stops responding. To reset the drive, press and hold the eject button until all three LEDs come on (which takes about 6 seconds), then release the button.

If the eject button is held down until the LEDS come on (6 seconds) and is continued to be held down, until the lights go off (another 4 seconds), no reset is performed.

If you press and hold the eject button again until the first two LEDs flash, the drive goes into a state ready for the firmware upgrade tape. The drive will returns to its normal state after 30-45 seconds of inactivity.
