Chapter 3: Installing the Desktop DLT2000XT Tape Drive
Using the Power-On Self Test
The power-on self test starts automatically on power-on. Observe the LEDs on the front
panel, making sure that they light in the following order:
1. All LEDs on the right front panel light sequentially from top to bottom as the POST
begins. The LEDs remain on for a few seconds.
2. All LEDs on the left front panel light simultaneously for about three seconds, and
then turn off.
3. The green Operate Handle, the orange Write Protected, and the yellow Use
Cleaning Tape LEDs turn off. The yellow Tape in Use LED blinks as the tape drive
initializes.
4. After initialization, if no tape cartridge is loaded, the yellow Tape in Use LED turns
off, the green Operate Handle LED turns on, the handle unlatches, and the beeper
sounds.
Figure 3-6 shows the LEDs on the front panel.
