2.2.1 Indicators
There are four LED indicators on the control panel, labeled
Ready
(green),
Use
Cleaner
(yellow),
Drive Fault
(red), and
Loader Fault
(red), and they function
as follows:
Ready
(green) - illuminated when the DLT MiniLibrary is ready to accept
commands, either from the Control Panel or from the host computer. The
Ready
indicator goes out when you enter the Menu Mode.
Use Cleaner
(yellow) - indicates that one or both drives require cleaning. A
cleaning operation should be performed as described in
Chapter 4 - Regular
Maintenance
. When the
Use Cleaner
LED comes on, you can find out which
drive needs cleaning by selecting Cleaning Needed
on the Drive Status submenu.
Drive Fault
(red) - indicates that a hardware error occurred in either or both
drives. Refer to theTZ89N DLT Tape Drive User’s Guide for the drives in your
MiniLibrary for Error Recovery Procedures.
Loader Fault
(red) - illuminated when a Fault Screen appears on the LCD
display. The Fault Screen is described later in this chapter. A list of Fault
Symptom Codes (FSC) and Error Recovery Procedures (ERP) appears in
Chapter 5 - Diagnostics and Troubleshooting
.
2.2.2 Buttons
There are four buttons on the control panel, labeled
Escape
,
Enter
, , and
.
The buttons do not directly control specific functions or options. Instead, you use
the buttons to navigate from the Default Screen through a multi-level menu
structure, then select the desired option from the appropriate menu using the
Enter button. Table 2-1 describes the effect of each of the four buttons under
various conditions.
The two most important things you need to know about the buttons are:
• To enter the Menu Mode and display the Main Menu from the Default
Screen, press the Enter button.
• To return to the Main Menu from a submenu, press the Escape button
repeatedly until the Main Menu appears. Pressing the Escape button while
the Main Menu is displayed exits the Menu Mode and returns you to the
Default Screen. The Default Screen is shown in Figure 2-5; the Main Menu
is shown in Figure 2-8.
