Front Panel Overview

The front panel displays icons and text that provide library, drive, and tape status information. It also uses text prompts and warnings to guide you while making changes. Use the button immediately below the label to execute the desired function. The function of the buttons varies between screens.

The display defaults to the Home Screen. Figure 27 on page 60 shows a typical Home Screen view, using a four-drive model as an example.
