Control Buttons
The labels for the four control buttons are displayed in the corners of the LCD. All buttons have “soft
function” for different modes of operation, i.e. the functions of the buttons change during different
activities. The actual function for each button is always visible on the display.
LED Indicators
The two LED indicators are green and amber. They indicate the StorageLibrary activity as follows:
•
Green LED on: The StorageLibrary is either running or ready for operation.
•
Green LED blinking: Short blinks followed by long intervals indicate that the library is in low power
standby mode.
•
Amber LED on: Fault LED; the StorageLibrary has encountered an electrical or mechanical
failure.
Standby Switch
A switch on the front panel provides a Library Standby mode. If the switch is pushed when the library
is active, the library completes the current operation and then goes offline and enters standby mode.

Standby Functionality
for more details.

Cooling Fans
Forced-air cooling fans are integrated in the power supply, tape drive, and behind the library control
board. The fans pull air inwards through vents in the front bezels and expel it out the back. The fans
start when tape drive(s) are operating or if the internal temperature becomes too high.
Main Power Switches/Fuses/Power Cord Connections
The main power switches and power connectors are located at the back of the library. The fuses in
the fuse-holders are rated 250V 2A.
SCSI, SAS and Fibre Channel Interface Connectors
The library supports both SCSI, SAS and FC drives. The SCSI tape drive has two shielded 68-pin HD
SCSI connectors on the rear panel. The FC tape drive has one FC connector, and the SAS drive has
one SAS connector. The connectors are used for connecting the tape drive and the StorageLibrary to
the host.
The FC and SAS connectors can link to the following:
