Operations
Operating the drive involves the front panel items:
v Power button
v Single-character Display (SCD)
v SCD dot
v Ready and Fault status lights
v Unload button
v Encryption status light
Operating modes
The drive functions in these modes:
v Operation mode - functions include reading and writing data, cartridge manipulation, error reporting,
and updating firmware with an FMR cartridge. For more information, see “Status lights” on page 14.
v Maintenance mode - functions include drive diagnostic, creation/unmake FMR cartridge, and drive
dump manipulation (force to RAM, copy to tape, copy to flash memory, and erase flash). For more
information, see “Diagnostic and maintenance functions” on page 21.
The Unload button is used to switch between modes. For information, see “Unload button” on page 16.
Power button
The Power button is a push button that turns the tape drive on or off. This button is on the front panel
(see
▌7▐
in “Front panel of the drive” on page 2). When Power is in the off position, the primary
electrical power within the enclosure is still active. To remove all electrical power to the enclosure,
unplug the power cord from the receptacle at the rear of the drive.
When the unit is powered-on but idle, the Ready light (see
▌2▐
in “Front panel of the drive” on page 2) is
solid green. When it is completing a function, the Ready light is flashing green.
Single-character display (SCD)
The SCD (
▌5▐
in “Front panel of the drive” on page 2) presents a single-character code for:
v
Error conditions and informational messages
v Diagnostic or maintenance functions (while in maintenance mode only)
Appendix A, “Error codes and messages,” on page 65 lists the codes for error conditions and
informational messages. If multiple errors occur, the code with the highest priority (represented by the
lowest number) displays first. When the error is corrected, the code with the next highest priority
displays, until no errors remain.
“Diagnostic and maintenance functions” on page 21 lists the single-character codes that represent
diagnostic or maintenance functions. To initiate a function, the unit must be in maintenance mode.
The SCD is blank during normal operation.
