Autoloader user interfaces
The autoloader has two user interfaces:
• Operator control panel (OCP). From the OCP you can operate the autoloader from the front panel.
• Remote management interface (RMI). From the RMI you can monitor and control the autoloader from a
web browser. You can access most autoloader functions from the RMI.
The OCP
The OCP has a power button, four LEDs, four control keys, and a 2-line by 16-character LCD screen. With
the OCP, you can monitor, configure, and operate most autoloader functions from the front panel.
OCP LED indicators
The OCP has four LEDs that provide information.
1
Ready
Green, steady when power is on, blinking with tape drive or autoloader robotics activity.
2
Clean
Amber when a tape drive cleaning operation is recommended.
3
Attention
Amber if the autoloader has detected a condition that user attention is necessary, but
that the autoloader can still perform most operations.
4
Error
Amber if an unrecoverable tape drive or autoloader error occurs. A corresponding error
message displays on the LCD screen. User intervention is required; the autoloader is not
capable of performing some operations.
