Tape Drive and watch for the following:
a. The power-on light comes on and stays on.
b. All three status lights come on, then turn off after approximately 35 seconds (indicating that the Power-On Self Test (POST) has
completed successfully).
Note: For machines with certain adapters, POST may not complete until the system is powered on.
c. A series of messages display on the LCD, ending with the message READY-NOTAPE. (If you change the display language while
powering on, the READY-NOTAPE message and all subsequent messages appear in the chosen language. For more information,
see "Changing the Display Language" in topic 3.3.1.)

Note: If the POST does not complete successfully, the 7208 Tape Drive has detected an internal fault and must be repaired. Contact
your service representative. Do not continue with the installation at this time.
