Drive operation and maintenance
Introduction
This chapter describes important operational procedures for the STT8000A. It
covers the following topics:
Use of the front panel LED
Using cartridges
Loading revised firmware (updating flash EEPROM)
Drive maintenance and troubleshooting instructions.
Front panel LED
The front panel of the Travan drive (see Figure 4-1) contains the cartridge opening
and one amber light-emitting diode (LED). This LED is lit any time that the tape is
NOT at the beginning of the tape. Thus, the LED indicates tape movement.
