Front Panel Components 4
The front panel includes a blue backlit LCD, four function keys (▲ [scroll 
up], ▼ [scroll down], 
Enter, and Escape), and two LEDs.
Function Keys 4 Use the function keys to navigate through the menu and select options. 
Use the up and down scroll buttons to position the cursor next to the item 
you want. Once the cursor is in place, press 
Enter to select the item. To 
return to a previous menu without making a selection, use the 
Escape 
button. The 
Escape button can also function as a backspace key.
LEDs 4 The LEDs display SuperLoader and drive status information. When the 
SuperLoader is powered on, the left, green LED gives ready status 
information, and the right, amber LED gives fault status information.
