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) or the display
message (MCD) on TS11xx technology drives (see TS11xx Technology
MCD Codes on page 425).

 The LED status information shown on the Drive Details
Notes:
screen always indicates that the LED is off for LTO‐4 Fibre
Channel drives running firmware version 8940 or later, all
firmware versions for LTO‐5 and later generation Fibre
Channel drives, and all firmware versions for TS11xx
technology drives. 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 to Retrieve a Drive Dump on page 410.
 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).
