Varian 402 Data Station

I found a Varian 402 Data Station. It's basically a Z80 machine with a
built-in CRT, 2 disk drives, and a thermal printer. It's huge.

When I fire it up, I get no activity on the CRT, but the thermal printer
goes into a self-test, pauses for a moment, then repeats. It does this
endlessly, so something must be wrong.

No activity on the disk drives either.

A Google search turned up nothing useful.

Anyone have any experience with these things?
