Verifying Drive Operation
Once you have installed the drive hardware, you should verify that it is functioning properly before you store your valuable data. Switch on the computer. For external drives,
switch on the drive before you switch on the computer.
The tape drive will run its Power-On Self Test (POST) which checks all hardware except for the drive head. The single character display will present a series of random
characters, then become blank (not lit). The status light will briefly become solid amber, then become solid green.
Verify that the tape drive installation was successful. Following the instructions given with your Tape Backup Software application, write test data to a tape, read the test data
from the tape and compare the data read from the tape with the original data on disk.
