Local Operator Panel
The local operator panel is a 12-inch touch screen display on the front of the library.
The panel uses StorageTek Library Console (SLC) software to access diagnostics,
library status, library and drive monitoring, and functional information.
Service Safety Door
The service safety door is a sliding door that moves to the left or right side of the
library, depending upon which maintenance lock is activated. Using the safety door
places the library in service mode. The safety door separates the front maintenance
area from the library interior so a service representative can safely replace a front
frame component while the library remains fully operational.
