become illuminated. The error code will remain on the Operator Control Panel until a push button is pressed, which will cause the Operator Control Panel to return to the Home Screen.

vNumeric error codes are only used for unrecoverable, fatal errors, otherwise text status messages are displayed.

Power-ON Display

When the library powers ON or resets, it goes through several internally controlled processes that allow it to get initialized and running. These processes are called Power-On-Self-Test (POST). During the POST the Operator Control Panel will display information that may be meaningless until POST is complete. When the POST is finished, the library will display the current library status in the Home Screen.

While the library is going through its power up cycle the user can monitor the state of the library via the OCP; however, the user will not be able to make any configuration changes until the unit has completed its initialization routine.

Attempts to make changes will be ignored.

Note about the Front Panel LEDs

All LEDs are updated during power ON and reset sequences. Upon power ON or software reset, the library will illuminate all LEDs as soon as POST allows. When initialization starts, all LEDs will be extinguished and the Ready/Activity LED will flash at a rate of approximately one second per cycle. When the mechanical initialization is complete, the Ready/Activity LED will stop flashing and be constantly illuminated.

If a library failure occurs, the Ready/Activity LED will turn OFF and the Error LED will illuminate. The Operator Control Panel will also display an appropriate error code to help identify the failure.

The following are additional operational details of LEDs:

vThe Ready/Activity LED will be lit any time the unit is powered ON and functional. The Ready/Activity LED will blink whenever there is library or drive activity. This LED will also blink when the unit is OFFLINE.
