Drives in Tape Arrays
Operating the Drive
Removable drives are powered on when you switch on your tape array and
computer.
The tape drive will run its hardware self-test, which takes about 5 seconds.
During the test the ‘Ready’ LED flashes and all the other LEDs are off. On
successful completion the ‘Ready’ LED is on. If the self-test fails, the ‘Drive
Error’ and ‘Tape Error’ LEDs flash, while the ‘Ready’ and ‘Clean’ LEDs are off.
This continues until the drive is reset.

If you have just installed the drive, check the installation for loose
connections, reset the drive and repeat the self-test.
