functions.

is active.
• INTERFACE ACTIVE LED - indicates that an input/output
operation is being performed across a host interface.

4.3 Remote Diagnostics Interface Port
The 9710 also has an interface port that makes diagnostic
information constantly accessible to the customer service engineer.
The remote diagnostics interface port can communicate LSM
status, configuration, diagnostic sequences, and error information to
a customer services engineer in a remote location. This enables the
engineer to either resolve the problem remotely or to arrive on site
informed and more prepared.
4.4 Access Time
The 9710 performs up to 180 exchanges per hour. An exchange is
one cycle in which a cartridge is moved by the robot. In one cycle,
a cartridge is retrieved from a cell and mounted in a CTU and then
dismounted from the CTU and returned to a cell.
