Verify installation

Once you have installed the drive hardware, check that drivers have been
installed correctly and you have the correct version of backup software, and
verify that the tape drive is functioning properly before you store your valuable
data.
1. Switch on the server.
2. The tape drive will run its hardware self-test, which takes about 5 seconds.
If self-test passes, the green Ready LED flashes and then shows steady
green. If the test fails, the Drive and Tape LEDs flash, while the Ready and
Clean LEDs are off. This continues until the drive is reset. See
"Understanding LED sequences" on page 27
