Data Cartridges
on page 119) for complete visual inspection instructions
for Super DLTtape II data cartridges.

also includes valuable information about
SDLT systems.
POST Operation
3
The SDLT 600A tape drive performs a Power-On Self-Test (POST) each
time the tape drive is powered on. POST normally completes in 10 to 15
seconds—when a data cartridge is not in the tape drive— when the unit is
powered on. However, if a data cartridge is in the tape drive when the
unit is powered on, POST duration is longer, depending on how much
tape in the data cartridge may be loaded in the tape drive.
Note:
There is no timeout in effect during a data transfer phase.
Following the locate operation on tape, the FTP server returns
150 Connecting to port xxx
to the client and starts transferring
data.
