I am trying to RESTART our spare HP3000-918LX which has been sitting
powered down for some time.

Of course it does not start.

I get these errors:

Trying Primary Path
Booting . . .

ENTRY_TEST status = 0

Failed to Initialize
ENTRY_INIT status = -4

Try Alternate Boot Path

Hard Booted

TAPEIPL version 1.0
ISL Loaded
ISL Revison A.00.42 Apr 12, 2000

  Cannot find an auto-execute file. AUTOBOOT aborted.


Now, I last did this sort of stuff in August of 2008 so for all
intents and purposes I have no idea on how to proceed from this point.

What I have is a recent CSLT from our primary 918LX, a full system
backup tape and numerous spare HDDs.  The tape drive appears to work
fine.

How do I get our reserve HP3000 back in working condition?

Sincerely,
