Chapter 2

Operator’s Panel Overview

The Operator's Panel consists of four LEDs, four buttons, and a 2-line by 16-

character LCD screen. The Operator's Panel provides everything you need to

monitor autoloader status and to control all of its functions.
The display defaults to the Home screen. The Home screen consists of the

autoloader status on the top line and the current cartridge inventory on the

second line. If the tape drive does not have a cartridge loaded, the top line

displays Drive empty (

Figure 9

on page 24).

The cartridge inventory indicates all slots that contain a cartridge by displaying

the slot number. Empty slots are indicated by a dash (-).

Home Screen, Drive Empty

An exclamation point (!) displayed in the inventory indicates that the

autoloader has identified a cartridge in the indicated slot that is either an

invalid cartridge type (DLTtape III cartridge or non-DLT1 cleaning cartridge) or

has had a media-related error. These can be caused by faulty or improperly

degaussed media, media that has been previously written in an invalid format

such as DLT 7000 or DLT 8000, or dirty read/write heads in the tape drive.

The Media Attention LED is also illuminated in this case. See

LED Indicators

on

page 26 for more information.
