Powering on the Library
To power on the library:
1 Connect all power cords to their electrical source.
2 Turn on each power supply using the switch on the rear of the power
supply.
3 Press the power button located on the front door of the library’s
control module.
When you power on the library, the library performs a self-test to ensure
that all of its parts are functioning properly. All tape drives and partitions
are brought online.
Shutting Down, Powering Off, and Completely Removing
Power
The Shutdown command shuts down the library’s operating system and
firmware. When performing a shutdown, the library finishes the current
command and lowers the robot to the floor of the library.
Before performing a shutdown, make sure the connected host
applications are not sending commands to the library.
To power off the library: Perform the shutdown sequence and then press
the power button on the front of the control module.
To completely remove power: Perform the shutdown sequence and power
off the library. Then turn off the power switch on each power supply,
located at the rear of the library. Finally, disconnect the power supply
cables from their electrical source.
Caution: Always perform a shutdown before powering off the
library or completely removing power from the library.
