Overview
Status LEDs
The status LEDs show autoloader and drive status information. The left, green LED shows ready status information, and the right, amber LED shows fault status information.
On/Off Button
The On/Off button is a soft key, which means that if the autoloader is moving any cartridges when you press the On/Off button, it finishes moving them before powering off. However, any other functions, such as writing to a tape or performing a diagnostic test are interrupted and terminated when you press the On/Off button.
Magazines
The magazines contain part of the robotics that move the cartridges inside the autoloader. The autoloader is equipped with two cartridge magazines. The magazines are removable, and each magazine accommodates up to eight cartridges. The magazines store your data tape cartridges and can also store your cleaning cartridge.
