Description of LEDs for Encryption:

Refer to the T10000 Tape Drive Operator's Guide for complete details of informaion provided here.

The T10000 drives that are encryption capable have a multi-color encryption status LED on the rear panel of the drive.

If the encryption status LED is green, it indicates that the drive functions in a non-encryption "Safe" mode and can neither read nor write encrypted tape cartridges. However, the drive can function normally for non-encryption tasks.

After the drive is encryption enabled, the LED turns red to indicate that the drive is "Armed" and functional on the encryption mode. In this state, the drive can read and write encrypted tape cartridges. The drive can also read non-encrypted tape cartridges, but cannot write to non-encrypted tape cartridges.

The states of encryption status LED are:

LED state: Off

The drive does not have encryption hardware.

LED state: Green

Encryption capable, but not enabled.

KMS 1.X: Not encryption

KMS 2.X: Not licensed

Normal-unencrypted drive write/read cartridge operations.

LED state: Gren (slow flashing)

Mode: Reset

Encryption previously enabled, but requires keys. Drive is capable of read-only, unencrypted cartridge operations.

Note : Drive is no longer capable of unencrypted write operation after encryption has been enabled.

LED state: Red

Mode: Armed, idle

Encryption enabled/active. Ready to encrypt.

LED state: Red (slow flashing)

Mode: Armed, active

Encryption read/write cartridge operation in progress.

LED state: Amber

KMS 1.X: Requires media key.

KMS 2.X:

- Enrolled, cartridge not loaded.

- Enrolled, cartridge loaded but waiting for KMS key.

LED state: Amber (slow flashing)

Requires device key (KMS 1.x only).

LED state: Cycling

Note - The LED continously cycles through several colors at the slow flash rate.

Mode: Zeroed

Media, device and enabling keys missing. The drive is unusable, and must be returned to manufacturing.
