The internal drive does not have a Power LED. Indicator Activity During Power-On Self-Test (POST) Every time you turn on or reset the drive, it conducts a Power-On Self-Test (POST). This test ensures that the drive is working properly and is ready to use. While POST is in progress, watch the front panel LEDs to see the progress and results of the test. During POST, the following actions take place: The LEDs illuminate one at a time, from left to right, starting with the Ready LED, next the Fault LED, and finally the Clean LED, at approximately one second intervals About four seconds later, the Media LED illuminates Each LED signals a different part of the POST process All LEDs then turn off momentarily If a cartridge is not loaded, the Ready LED illuminates and POST is complete, the entire process taking approximately eight seconds If a cartridge is loaded, the Ready LED flashes while the drive mounts the cartridge, a process that can take several minutes depending upon the position of the media in the tape path As POST completes, the drive makes a slight buzzing noise for several seconds. This noise is normal and should be ignored The drive is now ready to use.
