Powering On Your Qi - Qualstar Qi Manual

POWERING ON YOUR Qi

1) Switch the power button located on the back of the unit to the on [–] position.
2) Wait for the ready light on front of the Qi to illuminate steady green.
3) Power on your computer.
Note: When initially powered on, the Qi will perform a hardware power on self-test
(POST). The POST checks to make sure that the LTO drive is functioning properly.
Wait until the single character display (SCD) presents a sustained green light to
indicate POST is complete. POST takes approximately 12 seconds.
Note: If the Qi is powered on with a tape cartridge installed, the system will perform
a much more intensive POST while the system verifies the integrity of the data on
the tape.
Note: Never leave a tape in the Qi with the unit powered off!
Note: Never remove power from the Qi during read, write, load, and unload activities.
