Indicator Activity During Power-On Self-Test (POST) Every time you power on or reset your tape drive, it conducts a power-on self-test (POST). This test ensures that your tape 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: · · · · · · · The LEDs illuminate one at a time, from left to right, starting with the Ready LED, next the Fault LED, and finally the Clean LED, at approximately one second intervals. If a data cartridge is not loaded, the Ready LED illuminates and POST is complete, the entire process taking approximately eight seconds. If a data cartridge is loaded, the Ready LED flashes while the tape drive mounts the data cartridge, a process that can take several minutes. As POST completes, the tape drive makes a slight buzzing noise for several seconds. This noise is normal. The tape drive is now ready to use. Indicator Activity During Normal Operation: Ready LED When your DLT VS160 tape drive is in use, the Ready LED indicates the three states detailed in Table 4-1. Table 4-1. Ready LED Off On Blinking Interpreting Ready LED Activity Tape Drive Status No power to the tape drive. Power is on; no data cartridge is loaded or a loaded data cartridge is idle with no tape motion. The tape drive is loading a data cartridge or a loaded data cartridge has tape motion, such as read, write, seek, rewind, calibration, or other data cartridge activity. 4-2 January 2004 81-81191-01 Rev A01 DLT VS160 Tape Drive Installation and Operations Guide Indicator Activity During Normal Operation: Fault/Clean/Media LEDs The Fault, Clean, and Media LEDs indicate the status of the tape drive. Note that the LEDs can indicate more than one of the indicated operating conditions simultaneously; for example: · · If cleaning is required while a DLT1 (VS80) format data cartridge is loaded, both the Clean and Media LEDs are on. If an internal write/read diagnostic fails as a result of a permanent write error, both the Fault and Clean LEDs blink slowly. Table 4-2 describes the meaning of each front panel indicator.
