Partial availability state
When the autoloader is in the partial availability state, it is still functional, but has
a condition that needs attention (see “Partial availability conditions”). Partial
availability does not indicate a hardware error. With partial availability, the LED
under the display is solid amber until you correct the problem. A partial
availability state from the default home screen will look similar to the following
example. The front panel uses the term
Partly Available because of display size
limitations.
The middle icon button on the Home screen is a shortcut to the Loader Status
menu and partial availability information. To view more information about the
partial availability error, you can also access the log by selecting
Main
menu-->Information-->Loader Information-->Loader Status .
Partial availability conditions
The partial availability state is caused by one of the errors described in the
following table.
