This section includes:
Understanding LEDs
The tape drive performs a power-on self-test whenever power is applied or the tape
drive is reset. The test takes about 5 seconds.
The green Ready light flashes several times and then remains on if the self-test
passes. All the other LEDs remain off.
If the self-test fails, the Drive Error and Tape Error LEDs flash, while the Ready and
Clean LEDs remain off. This continues until the tape drive is reset.
