Interpreting the Status LED Information
The Drive Details screen shows the state of the drive's status LED. The LED
states are the same for all generations of drives. Refer to the tape drive
documentation about interpreting the LED (see LTO Ultrium Tape Drives
on page 20 or TS11xx Technology Drives on page 20).
Contact Spectra Logic Technical Support if you need assistance (see
Contacting Spectra Logic on page 7).
Interpreting the SCD and MCD Codes
Overview The Drive Details screen displays the state of the single‐
character display (SCD) on LTO drives (see LTO SCD Codes on page 371)
or the display message (MCD) on TS11xx technology drives (see TS11xx
Technology MCD Codes on page 377).

 The LED status information shown on the Drive Details
Notes:
screen always indicates that the LED is off. If you need to
determine the state of the LED, use the IBM Tape Diagnostic
Tool (ITDT). Download and install the software as described
in Use the IBM Tape Diagnostic Tool (ITDT) to Retrieve a
Drive Dump on page 362.
 Make sure you install ITDT on a computer that is connected
to the same SAN as the drives in the library.
 For TS11xx technology drives, use the MCD to determine the
status of the drive (see Interpreting the SCD and MCD
Codes).
