Drive Status
The indicators of the S-AIT Tape Drive Unit show the status of the unit. This
status is indicated by a combination of colors (green, orange, or yellow), and
whether the indicators are lit or flashing. Refer to the table below for
explanations about the meaning of indicator activity.
Note
When you turn on the unit or reset it, all the indicators light green for about half
a second. They then flash repeatedly yellow from left to right for about 3
seconds, indicating that the unit is performing a self-diagnostic.
