Power On Self-Test
When power is initially applied, the SDLT drive performs a Power On Self-Test
(POST). After the user powers up the drive, the green indicator flashes while POST is
performing. When the green indicator is illuminated, the drive is ready for operation.
NOTE: If the amber indicator is illuminated, a problem has been detected. See Chapter 4,
"Troubleshooting the SDLT Drive."
