classification (production-grade requirements).

that fully enclose the drive use a light pipe to transfer the LED indication to the rear
of the tray (see the CRYPT label in
If the encryption status LED is green, it indicates that the drive is encryption capable,
but not encryption enabled. In this state, the drive functions only in a non-encryption
safe mode, and cannot read/write encrypted data cartridges. However, the drive can
function normally for non-encryption tasks.
When the drive is encryption enabled, the LED turns red to indicate the drive is
armed and functioning in the encryption mode. In this state, the drive can read/write
encrypted data cartridges. The drive can also read non-encrypted data cartridges, but
cannot write to non-encrypted data cartridges.
