Connect Power
1. Plug the power cord into the rear panel (see Figure 1-3 on page 1-2), then plug
the other end into a grounded electrical outlet.
2. Power-on the unit by pressing the Power Button. The POST runs, which checks
all hardware except the drive head. During the POST, the Single-character

represents a test performed during the POST. When the POST finishes, the SCD
momentarily lights all segmented characters and then goes blank.
Run drive diagnostics
Run the Standalone Diagnostic (see “Function Code 1: Run Drive Diagnostics” on
page 3-9).
