LEDs – DDS-DC Drive
The front panel has two colored LEDs: the Cassette Light and the Drive Light. A
green light indicates normal operation, and an amber light indicates a warning
condition. Pulsing shows activity between the drive and the SCSI bus.
If the Cassette Light (left LED) shows steady amber, it means that the cassette is
write–protected. If the Drive Light (right LED) shows steady amber, this indicates a
fault condition. Table 1–2 lists the LED codes and their meanings.
