2. Locate a data cartridge and ensure that its write-protect switch has been set correctly
for the desired operation.
3. Insert the data cartridge into the tape drive with the label side up and the
write-protect switch facing you.
4. Wait while the drive loads the tape and positions it at LBOT (Logical Beginning of
Tape). This takes about 35 seconds.
NOTE
All three LEDs will be
off for the first 8 seconds. Then, the
bottom LED will
flash to indicate that the tape is being loaded.
When the bottom LED is
on continuously, the drive is ready.
5. Perform a write operation to write approximately 500 MBytes of data to the tape.
You can perform the write operation with a system command or utility, or with your
back-up software. If you use your back-up software, be sure you write to a hard drive
scratch area.
6. Rewind the tape and then read the data written on the tape in step 5.
7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 at least two times or for two hours, whichever is greater.
NOTE
If the tape has been stored for a long period, errors may occur
during the break-in period. If an error occurs, reset the drive
and repeat steps 5 and 6 as appropriate.
When you have completed step 7, the tape drive is ready for normal operation. If errors
persist, please contact your vendor.
