Part 3. Operation
This section describes how to use the AIT drive, and how to handle data
cartridges.

Press the POWER switch on the front panel.
The POWER indicator should light, and the STATUS, BUSY and TAPE
indicators (with the SDX-D700C, the TAPE MOTION, CLEANING
REQUEST, and REPLACE TAPE indicators) should blink as the self-
test is performed.

When the three indicators stop blinking, you can insert a data cartridge as
shown below. The TAPE indicator will blink, and if the cartridge is
write-protected, the STATUS indicator will light. (With the SDX-
D700C, even if the cartridge is write-protected, only the TAPE MOTION
indicator lights.)
