Powering Off the Library

Operation in Manual Mode
The following pages describe operations that can be performed when the tape library is
in the manual mode. Manual mode occurs when the tape library is not online or loses
power.
•
When the library is offline, you might have to:
•
Open the front door
•
Move the robot
•
Locate a cartridge in the storage cells
•
Remove a cartridge from the hand
•
Mount a cartridge in a drive
•
Dismount a cartridge from a drive
Before starting any of these tasks, precautions must be taken against electrostatic
discharge (ESD).
After the library door has been opened:
1. Touch a gray, unpainted metal surface, such as the library frame just inside the
front door.
2. Keep all body movement to a minimum as the tape drives and library components
are being touched.
Caution. Components are Sensitive to Static Electricity: Even a small electrostatic discharge
could damage an electrical component inside the library. A damaged component might not fail
immediately, but over time, it will become worse, possibly causing an “intermittent” problem. Be
sure to touch gray, unpainted metal before reaching inside the library.
