2.6.1 Run POST
To test the installation for the DLT2000 by running POST:
1. Turn on the system power.
2. Set the power switch on the DLT2000 rear panel to on. POST runs automatically.
3. Observe the indicators on the DLT2000 front panel. Ensure the indicator sequence
of events is the same as in Table 2-2 . Events on the right and left sides happen at
the same time.
Table 2-2 POST
Event
Action
1
The lights on the right front panel turn on sequentially from
top to bottom. All lights stay on for a few seconds.
2
All lights on the left front panel turn on at the same time for
about three seconds and then turn off.
3
The green Operate Handle, the orange Write Protected, and
the Yellow Use Cleaning Tape lights turn off. The yellow
Tape in Use light blinks while the tape drive initializes.
4
After initialization, if no cartridge is loaded, the yellow Tape
In Use light turns off, the green Operate Handle light turns on,
the handle unlatches, and the beeper sounds.
For more information on what happens after initialization when a cartridge is present,
but the handle is down; or a cartridge is present, but the handle is up (not
recommended), see Section 3.5.4 in Chapter 3.
POST completes in about 13 seconds and the drive responds normally to all commands.
However, it might take longer for the media to become ready. After a bus reset, the tape
drive responds within a bus selection timeout period.
