General Guidelines
Once your FastStor and your choice of application software are installed and configured, you can automatically perform backup
and restore operations through the application software. You do not need to intervene unless you need to replace cartridges.
Always follow these general operating guidelines:
❐ Do not open the front door of the FastStor unless you must perform manual Mode commands, or change media.
❐ Use only the recommended types of media cartridges, described earlier in this manual.
❐ Clean the DLT drive whenever the CT field appears on the LCD (signifying a cleaning request), or as soon possible.
Note
Never insert or remove cartridges from the storage slots unless LdR REAdY is displayed on the LCD.
Powering on the System
The two keys for the front door are taped to the rear panel of your FastStor model.
❐ Remove the keys from the rear panel, unlock and open the front door.
❐ Remove the foam shipping block from the cartridge area.
❐ Plug the power cord into the AC receptacle on the rear panel of your FastStor.
❐ Plug the power cord from the FastStor into a grounded electrical outlet.
Use caution when plugging the power cord into an electrical outlet.
Hazardous voltages are present in the sockets of the outlet.
❐ Plug the power cord from your host computer into a grounded electrical outlet.
❐ Turn on power to the FastStor by pressing the POWER button on the Operator Panel.
Note
When powering off your FastStor, you must press and hold the POWER button for 2 seconds.
