4. Ensure that the host is configured correctly for USB 3.0 operation. The tape
drive with SAS/USB ports requires a device driver for the USB 3.0 operation.
The device driver and driver documentation for the SAS/USB drive is at on the
TS2250 web page.
5. If the power cord is already installed, turn power to the tape drive ON.
1. Plug the power cord into the rear panel (see Figure 1-3 on page 1-2), then plug
the other end into a grounded electrical outlet.
2. Power-on the unit by pressing the Power Button. The POST runs, which checks
all hardware except the drive head. During the POST, the Single-character
Display (SCD) flashes several segmented characters. Each segmented character
represents a test performed during the POST. When the POST finishes, the SCD
momentarily lights all segmented characters and then goes blank.
Run the Standalone Diagnostic (see "Function Code 1: Run Drive Diagnostics" on
page 3-10).
Note: Optionally, you can use the ITDT tool to verify host to drive
communications and to run a device test that will send data across the host
interface. For more information on ITDT, see "ITDT firmware update, dump
retrieval and library/drive test tool" on page 2-7.
A device driver is firmware that enables the tape drive to interact with a variety of
servers. Refer to "Supported device drivers" on page 1-6 for instructions on
downloading the latest device drivers.
If you intend to use the tape drive with a commercial software application, refer to
that application's installation instructions to install the device driver and configure
the tape drive.
