Power On Self Test
When power is applied to the tape system, the system performs a Power On Self
Test (POST). POST completes in approximately ten seconds. While POST is
running, the tape system responds BUSY to SCSI commands. The tape system
also responds to various SCSI messages during POST.
During this time, if a host tries to negotiate Synchronous or Wide transfers, the
tape system will negotiate to Asynchronous or Narrow. It may take longer than the
duration of POST for the drive to become ready.
Table 5-1.
