Status LEDs 1 The status LEDs show SuperLoader and drive status information. The 
green 
Ready LED shows ready status information, and the amber Fault 
LED shows fault status information. A solid 
Fault LED indicates an error, 
and a blinking 
Fault LED indicates a need for attention.
Power Switch 1 The power switch is a soft key, which means that if the SuperLoader is 
moving any cartridges when you press the power switch, it finishes 
moving them before powering off. Any other functions, such as writing 
to a tape or performing a diagnostic, are interrupted and terminated 
when you press the power switch. However, the SuperLoader attempts to 
write cached data to tape before the unit powers down.
Magazines 1 The SuperLoader is equipped with one or two cartridge magazines (see 
figure 5
). The magazines are removable and each magazine 
accommodates up to eight cartridges. If your SuperLoader contains only 
one magazine, a magazine blank is installed in the other magazine bay. 
The handles on magazines and magazine blanks are removable and allow 
you to configure any magazine or magazine blank to fit in either the left 
or the right magazine bay.
The magazines store the tape cartridges and can also store the cleaning 
cartridge. The magazines also contain the part of the robotics that moves 
the cartridges inside the SuperLoader.
