Tandberg Data Operation and Configuration
4. Operation and Configuration
The Local User Interface (LUI) consists of a small LCD panel capable of displaying
four lines of 20 characters each, and four control buttons, one near each corner of
the display. The buttons have soft labels in the corners of the display. The figure
below shows the power-on screen on the panel.

4.1 System Power-On
With mechanical installation and electrical connection complete, turn on the main
power switch. At power-on, for the first few seconds, the unit performs a sequence
of diagnostic tests called Power-On Self Tests (POST). POST also includes a loop
back test of the robot cabling. As the tests are completed, the control panel displays
a sign-on message, see figure 4.1.
After successful completion of the POST sequence, the loader will respond to SCSI
selections. Then the system starts a series of initialization functions, a process that
consists of robot calibration operation and cartridge inventory of magazines and
drive. If a barcode reader is installed and enabled, the barcode labels on the
cartridges will be read when running inventory.
During these operations the loader will continuously show the map status on the
screen, see figure 4.2. The status of all magazine slots and the drive are initially
unknown, and a ‘?’ is displayed for each slot. As the robot searches the magazine
slots for cartridges during Inventory, the display is updated.

Once the unit has completed the initialization processes, the Default screen, see
figure 4.3 appears and the loader is ready for SCSI commands.
