The tape drive performs a self-diagnostic test, called a Power-  
On Self-Test (POST), each time you power it on. During POST,  
each LED lights in sequence. When POST has completed  
successfully, the middle LED stops flashing and remains  
illuminated and the left and right LEDs remain off.  
Disconnect the power cord from the power cord connector.

File Transfers  
0
When you transfer a file and there is already a file with the  
same name in the destination, there is a conflict and the  
following window displays:  
The SDLT 600A FTP client allows you to transfer files from a:  
Local PC to/from a SDLT 600A server  
Local PC to/from a non-SDLT 600A server (e.g.  
Filezilla)  
Figure 10 File Exist  
SDLT 600A server to/from a non-SDLT 600A server  
SDLT 600A server to/from another SDLT 600A server  
(FXP transfer)  
To transfer files, select one or more items in one pane, then  
drag and drop them to the other pane. You can also transfer  
files within folders of the same pane, local or remote (e.g.  
into the SDLT 600A FTP server or into another FTP server).  
When transferring files of 4 MB and larger, transfer rates up  
to 36 MB/sec native may be achieved. When transferring  
files of less than 4 MB, you may see degraded drive transfer  
rates.  
Overwrite/Overwrite all — Erases the file already on  
the target and copies the new file in its place.  
NOTE: The maximum storage capacity of the  
SuperDLTtape II data cartridge is 300GB.  
NOTE: When you overwrite a file, it is not erased  
from the tape, because the tape drive appends  
data only (unless the file to overwrite is the last  
file stored on the tape). However it is not  
possible to access the overwritten file (unless the  
file to overwrite is the last file stored on the  
tape).  
Once a transfer is initiated, the bars show the transfer  
progress—when the indicator is moving back and forth, the  
tape is seeking, and once data copying actually begins the  
bar shows the progress.  
The queue lists the files to transfer as well as the status of  
the transfer. By selecting a file from the list and then right-  
clicking it, you can:  
NOTE: The SDLT 600A does not support Resume.  
Start the transfer queue  
Stop the file transfer  
Skip/Skip all— Continues the transfer for other  
selected files without overwriting the specified file(s).  
Remove the file from the list  
Retry the operation  
Display the file transfer properties  
NOTE: Canceling a transfer aborts it. Skipping a transfer  
cancels the current file transfer. The sequence of file  
transfers continues if there are other files in the  
transfer queue.
