Chapter 3. Operating the 3580 Ultrium 2 Tape Drive

Power Switch

The power switch is a toggle switch that lets you turn the 3580 Ultrium 2 Tape
Drive on or off. The switch is located on the rear panel (see 8 in Figure 2 on
page 7). To power the tape drive on, push the power switch to | ; to power it off,
push the switch to 0. When you place the power switch in the off (0) position, the
primary electrical power within the enclosure is still active. If you do not want
electrical power to be present in the enclosure, unplug the 3580 Ultrium 2 Tape
Drive's power cord from the receptacle at the rear of the drive (see 7 in Figure 2
on page 7).
When the 3580 Ultrium 2 Tape Drive is powered-on but idle, the status light is off
(see 2 in Figure 5); when the unit is performing a function, the status light is on.
