Chapter 6: Performing Library Operations
Shutting Down, Restarting, Turning Off, and Removing Power
140 Quantum Scalar i40 and Scalar i80 User’s Guide
4 Remove library power by disconnecting the power supply cord from
the power supply on the back of the library. If there are two power
supplies, remove the cords to both. See
Completely Removing
Library Power on page 144.
Shutting Down the
Library
Shutdown shuts down the library’s operating system and firmware,
closes data and log files, and retracts the picker so that a tape cartridge
or the picker fingers are not stuck part way into a tape drive or
magazine slot. If the robot was in the middle of a get or put operation,
it will attempt to complete the operation before shutting down, by
either pushing the cartridge into the destination slot, or removing it
completely from the slot and stopping in a safe location from which it
can move again once power is restored.
Once the shutdown is complete, you can
safely turn off the library by
pressing the power button on the front panel (see
Turning Off the
Library on page 143).
