4.2 Operator Panel

An operator panel is used to communicate LSM status,

configuration, diagnostic sequences, and error information. The

operator panel is also used to enter or eject tape cartridges from the

9710. Error information supplies fault system codes (FSCs) to aid

the customer service engineer in fault determination.

The operator panel has only a small number of indicators and

switches. Because these switches and indicators are simple and

clear, an operator can learn how to use the 9710 operator panel in a

very short period of time.

The operator panel consists of the following switches and

indicators:

• IPL switch - boots the system, downloads the operating

software from the diskette drive to the 9710 processor, and

audits the contents of the LSM.
