Power-On-Self-Test (POST)
When power is initially applied, the DLT80 drive performs a Power-On Self-Test
(POST). This self-test starts a sequence of events indicated by the front panel
LEDs. After you power up the DLT80 drive:
1. All left-side LEDs illuminate for approximately three seconds, then shut off.
2. The Operate Handle, the Write Protect, and the Use Cleaning Tape LEDs turn
off.
3. The Tape in Use LED blinks while the cartridge drive initializes.
4. After initializing, if a cartridge is not loaded in the drive, the Tape in Use LED
turns off, and the Operate Handle LED illuminates.
Note: POST will not complete until the Operate Handle is in the down position. If POST
is waiting for the handle to be put down, the Operate Handle LED will flash.
The drive is now ready for operation.
