Interpreting Library LEDs

LEDs communicate status and errors as they are occurring. Use the library LEDs to get an indication of how the library is functioning.

All library cards and drive modules contain LEDs. In general, a yellow LED comes on during power up and changes to green when power up is successful. This may take a few minutes on some library cards.

The LED bar underneath the front panel display indicates library activity.

Figure 46

	LEDs are located. These LEDs are described later in this chapter.
