Either the Dump icon or the flash dump icon can display in the status area of the service panel (see Item

dump icons.
The Dump icon
displays when a regular dump is available in memory, and remains on the screen to
indicate that trace data is stored in the 3592 drive. The icon remains on the screen until one of the
following occurs -
• The 3592 drive is powered OFF.
• A dump is taken over a fibre port.
• A dump is written to a tape cartridge or is saved to flash memory.
• Select Reset from the operator Options menu.
Attention: You can lose the dump if you reset the drive.
The flash dump icon displays on the service panel when a CE-initiated dump is available in flash
memory. The disabled flash dump icon displays on the service panel when an auto dump is available in
flash memory.
