Intervention messages description
A brief description of each message type that appeared in "Intervention messages" on page 85 follows -
• FID1 Messages
An FID1 message is generated by the drive when a hardware failure occurs within the drive. This
message has priority over all other types of messages, and persists until the error condition is corrected.
The FID code is used by maintenance personnel to identify the failing units within the drive. (FID
messages might be temporarily overwritten by menu selections.) Messages are in a bold font.
The format of these messages is 'FID1 xy', where 'FID1' indicates to the operator that a failure
occurred, and 'xy' is the portion of the device to replace. Figure 35 on page 87 shows an example of
FID1 87 (which might display on the service panel) and indicates a cartridge or drive canister problem.
