6.4 Note about the LED’s
All LEDs are updated during Power Up and Reset sequences. Upon power up or software Reset, the
loader will illuminate all LEDs as soon as POST allows. This will help the User to verify if all LEDs are
functional. When initialization starts, all LEDs will be extinguished and the Ready/Activity LED will flash
at a reasonable rate of approximately 1-second per cycle, 50% duty cycle. When the mechanical
initialization is complete, the Ready/Activity LED will stop flashing and be constantly illuminated.
If a loader failure occurs, the Ready/Activity LED will be turned off and the Error LED will be illuminated.
The Op Panel will also display an appropriate error code to help identify the failure.
The following are additional operational details of LEDs.
• The “Ready/Activity” LED will be lit any time the unit is powered on and functional (i.e. passed
power-on self-test). The Ready/Activity LED will blink whenever there is tape library or drive
activity. This LED will also blink when the unit is Offline.
• The "Clean" LED will only be lit when a cleaning REQUIRED has been issued by the drive. The
LED will be turned off again after a successful drive cleaning operation.
• The "Media Attention" LED will indicate that there is a piece of media which is bad/marginal, or
invalid. The LED will be cleared when all marginal and invalid cartridges have been exported
from the tape library.
• The "Error" LED will be lit when there is an unrecoverable (i.e. hard) drive or tape library failure.
This will happen at the same time the hard error message is displayed on the screen and the
LED will remain lit until the error state is resolved.
6.5 Input Modes
There are several modes to enter values in the different menu items. These values are selectable
predefined values, toggle values (e.g. On/Off) and numerical values like network addresses.
Selectable predefined values
After navigating to the menu item the various predefined values can be selected with the NEXT and
PREVIOUS button. As soon as the display shows the correct value it may be confirmed by pressing the
“ENTER” button.
Toggle values
Toggle values are used to switch between two different states like On and Off. After navigating to the
menu item the display shows the actual state. Pressing the ENTER button will switch to the possible new
state. Pressing ENTER a second time will take over this new state.
Numerical values
Numerical values are needed for network addresses, PIN entries, and other configuration entries. After
navigating to the menu item to be changed, the actual value will be displayed and the cursor stays on
the first digit. The value may be incremented / decremented with the NEXT and PREVIOUS button. After
pressing the ENTER button the cursor is set to the next editable digit. It can be changed in the same
way. After pressing the ENTER button at the last digit the complete entry will be stored. Pressing the
CANCEL button will cancel the whole edit process and the old value is valid again.
