Indicators
Use this panel to:
•
Monitor current information about the CAPs, configuration, drives, doors, drive
cleaning, hardware and software versions, and library status.

Help resolve library problems.
•
If an error occurs, the display shows a fault symptom code (FSC), which can be
given to a systems delivery engineer (SDE) or to the local service representative to
help resolve problems. Write down the FSC as soon as it is displayed.
•
Set library, network, and drive configurations.
•
Manipulate CAPs.
•
Replace the drive cleaning cartridges and set the cleaning cartridge usage.
•
Run library and drive tests.
•
Reset (start an initial program load [IPL] on) the library.
•
For specific task instructions refer to Chapter 5, “Configuring and Testing the
CTL700 Tape Library,” and Chapter 6, “Operating the CTL700 Tape Library.”
Indicators
Three indicators on the operator panel provide basic status information: Library Active,
Service Required, and Open. Refer to Figure 4-1 for details about these indicators.
Buttons
Six buttons appear on the operator panel: CAP, RESET, MENU, SELECT, and the up
and down arrows. The CAP and RESET let the user directly manipulate the library; the
remaining four buttons let the user manipulate the menus and underscored values on
the graphic display. Refer to Figure 4-1 for the location and description of each button.
Display Screens
Screens on the graphic display show current information and allow input. Information
accessible on the screens includes: drive status, CAP status, library capacity and
features, hardware and software versions, SCSI type, cleaning cartridge and Auto
Clean status, and error and FSC information.
Except for the CAP status and error and FSC information, these values are set through
an automatic configuration process that occurs during an IPL.
Note. The up arrow, down arrow, and SELECT buttons manipulate only values that are under
operator control. As the user “scrolls” down a list of selections, the cursor underscores these
values. Values that are not underscored cannot be manipulated.
