Press the power switch on the front panel.
The POWER indicator lights green and the unit starts.
Then four status indicators change as follows as the unit is starting.
• All the indicators light green for about half a second.
• They then repeatedly flash yellow form left to right for about 3 seconds,
indicating that the unit is performing a self-diagnostic.
• Finally, all the indicators go out. (If there is a cartridge in the unit, the
TAPE MOTION indicator lights green or yellow.)
Caution
• If the POWER indicator flashes when the unit starts, the cooling fan of the unit
may be malfunctioning. If this is the case, verify that the cooling fan on the
rear is operating normally. If it is not, contact your Sony service center.
• If the status indicators do not behave as described above, see chapter 1.
• Do not push down the front door when it is opened. Doing so may result in
damage.
Notes
• If you start the host computer before the SAITe1300-S, the SCSI ID is not
detected correctly. Therefore, you must always start the SAITe1300-S before
starting the host computer.
• If the S-AIT Tape Drive Unit does not behave as described above, see
