120 Understanding Error States Chapter 4
Partial Availability State
Note
A partial availability state is most commonly an indication of a
configuration issue and does not necessarily indicate a
hardware failure.
When the library is in a partial availability state, it is still functional, but is not
in an optimum or supported configuration, as described in Table 18 on page
121. When this occurs, the front panel will display
Partly Available
, and the
illuminated bar beneath the front panel display will be solid amber until the
condition is resolved. See
Figure 45
for an example of how the partial
availability state appears from the Home Screen. The front panel uses the term
“Partly Available” due to display size limitations.

Partial Availability State
The center icon button on the Home screen is a shortcut to the
Library Status
menu and partial availability information. This icon, as well as the icon on the
status bar, shows a reverse video reminder (icon background reverses to
black) when the library’s partial availability status changes. You may clear
this reminder by viewing the
Library Status
screen.
