5.1
Single-character Display (SCD)
The SCD (5 in
"Front panel of drive" on page 13
) presents a single-character
code for error conditions and informational messages:
"Error Codes and Messages" on page 44
lists the codes for error conditions and
informational messages. If multiple errors occur, the code with the highest
priority (represented by the lowest number) displays first. When the error is
corrected, the code with the next highest priority displays, and so on until no
errors remain.
The SCD is blank during normal operation.
5.2
Status Lights
The Status Lights (2 and 4 in
"Front panel of drive" on page 13
) are light-emitting
diodes (LEDs) that provides information about the state of the drive. The Ready
status light is green and the Fault status light is amber, and (when lit) solid or
flashing.
