POST Troubleshooting
Tips 3
Table 6 provides troubleshooting tips that you will find useful in the
event that your tape drive fails its POST.

and remains illuminated; the left LED turns off, and right
LED remains off.
POST
Failure
If POST fails, the middle and right LEDs illuminate
steadily and the left LED flashes.
Note: If a data cartridge is in place when power is turned on, all
stages remain the same except Stage 3. It may take a
considerably longer time for Stage 3 to complete due to tape
rewind and searching operations that occur during that stage.
