Encryption Status LED
T10000 drives that are encryption capable have a tri-color encryption status LED on the
rear panel, near the right end of the power connector (see
FIGURE 1-2 on page 22
). This
LED indicates the drive’s encryption status.
If the encryption status LED is green, it indicates that the drives is encryption capable,
but not encryption enabled. In this state, the drive functions only in a non-encryption
“Safe” mode, and cannot read/write encrypted tape cartridges. However, the drive can
function normally for non-encryption tasks.
Once the drive is encryption enabled, the LED turns red, indicating that the drive is
now “Armed”, and functional in the encryption mode. In this state, the drive can
read/write encrypted tape cartridges. The drive can also read non-encrypted tape
cartridges, but CANNOT write to non-encrypted tape cartridges.
Note –
After a drive has been “Armed”, it cannot be restored to the “Safe” mode in the
field.

interprets the various states of the encryption status LED. Refer to Crypto Key
Management documentation listed in the Related Pubs section for additional
