To display the Show Status Menu only without entering the Menu Mode, press the
Escape button at the Default Screen. The system remains online.
NOTE: Note: When you enter the Menu Mode, the Ready light goes out. This means that
the module is off-line, and the system responds to all commands from the host
with a “SCSI Not Ready” message until you exit the Menu Mode and the Ready
light goes on.
Front Panel and Media Locks
To avoid accidental interruption of module operation by entering the Menu Mode while the
host is accessing the module, you can lock the Control Panel electronically using the
Security Menu. Once you have locked the Control Panel, you must use an unlock code to
enter the Menu Mode. This prevents access to the Unlock Door item on the Main Menu.
(Refer to display menu structures described later in this chapter.)
You can also lock and unlock the media using the host software's SCSI Allow/Prevent
Medium Removal command. If there is a host failure, you can restore media access by
cycling LoaderXpress power.
