Using the Control Modes

3-4
Enabling and Disabling LCD Password Security
Using the LCD password security feature, you can prevent a user from
inadvertently changing settings or interrupting library operations. When
security is enabled, you cannot:
•
Change the control mode
•
Change SCSI IDs
•
Change the SCSI parity checking
•
Perform LCD diagnostics
•
Use the LCD options for cleaning the CTSs
•
Open the front door
If a user attempts to perform any of these operations while security is enabled,
the LCD displays a message stating that security is active.
Security remains in effect even after you reset the tape library, or power the
tape library off and back on. You can disable security by entering your
password in the Security submenu.
Viewing Errors
If an error occurs, the tape library displays an error message on the bottom two
lines of the LCD. The upper line includes the error number, and the lower line
gives a brief description. Refer to Appendix C for error code descriptions.
The tape library's cartridge handling mechanism (CHM) can operate in the
control modes listed below. To switch between these modes, use the Operator
Panel.
•
SCSI Interface mode
•
Sequential 1 mode and Sequential 2 mode
•
Dual Sequential mode
