3.2.1.1
Indicator Activity During Power-On Self-Test (POST)
Every time you turn on your DLT1 Drive, it conducts a Power-On Self-Test (POST). This test
ensures that your drive is working properly and is ready to use.
While POST is in progress, watch the front panel LEDs to see the progress and results of
the test. During POST, the following actions take place:
4. The LEDs turn on all at once and then turn off.
5. If a cartridge is loaded, the In Use LED blinks during initialization.
6. If there is no cartridge loaded, all LEDs turn off after initialization.
POST takes several seconds to complete. The drive is now ready to use.
