loaded onto the internal disk, a tape containing a copy of the loaded software is supplied
with the system. This tape is referred to as a factory preload tape (FPT). The FPT is a
CSLT/STORE backup of the system taken after pre-installation was completed. The FPT
will not contain your custom configuration.
Factory SLT Factory supplied System Load Tape. One of the two minimum requirements
for complete system software. This applies when the system software is shipped on tape
media and is not pre-loaded. Contains the OS base to perform basic functions. The
functions needed to boot the system, configure disks, and restore files. It does not contain
any purchased products.

FOS Fundamental Operating System. One of the two minimum requirements for complete
