__ 3. Plug the power cable for the system unit into an electrical outlet.
__ 4. Turn on the power to all of the external devices other than the 7208 Tape Drive.

turning on the power to the 7208 Tape Drive:
The power-on light comes on and stays on.
All three status lights come on, then turn off after approximately 35 seconds (indicating that the Power-On Self Test (POST) has

powering on, the READY-NOTAPE message and all subsequent messages appear in the chosen language. For more information,
see "Changing the Display Language" in topic 3.4.)
Note: If the POST does not complete successfully, the 7208 Tape Drive has detected an internal fault and must be repaired. Contact
your service representative. Do not continue with the installation at this time.
