1/8 Tape Autoloader User and Service Guide 23
2 Operating the autoloader
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 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 display either the drive type, as shown in Figure 9 or Drive empty.
NOTE: SEQ may appear next to the front panel inventory when the autoloader is in Sequential
mode. Nothing will appear when the autoloader is in Random mode.
The cartridge inventory indicates all slots that contain a cartridge by displaying the slot number.
Empty slots are indicated by a dash (-).
Figure 9 Home screen, no cartridge loaded
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 or has had a media-related
error. These can be caused by faulty media or dirty read/write heads in the tape drive. The Media
Attention LED is also illuminated in this case. See ”LED indicators” on page 24 for more
information.
