Understanding the LEDs LEDs during self-test hp StorageWorks SDLT 600 Eject button Drive Density Drive Status Cleaning Required Your HP StorageWorks SDLT 600 tape drive has three LEDs (light emitting diodes) on the front panel, which indicate drive status. These LEDs provide useful troubleshooting information. The tape drive performs a power on self-test whenever power is applied. The test takes between 10 and 15 seconds. • At power on, all three LEDs are on solid for approximately 1 second and then flash for one iteration. • During the self-test the Drive Status (middle) LED flashes and the other two LEDs are off. • If self-test passes, the Drive Status (middle) LED is on solid and the other two LEDs are off. • If the test fails, the middle and right LEDs remain on and the left LED flashes. This continues until the drive is reset. 41
