Compaq StorageWorks ESL9000 Series Tape Library Reference Guide

Calibrating the Library

The CALIBRATE LIBRARY command lets you calibrate the storage bins, the tape drives,
the load port, or the entire library. Calibrate the library during initial installation and after
any maintenance procedure.

To calibrate library elements:

1. On the Operator page, press the

Calibrate Library

button. The control panel displays

the Calibrate Library screen (see Figure 4-6).

2. Press the button with the desired calibration option.

NOTE:

Pressing the

Calibrate All

button causes the drives, bins, and the load port to be

calibrated. This operation takes approximately 20 minutes.

The control panel displays a “Command In Progress” screen while the calibration process
is in progress. Calibrate All takes approximately 20 minutes.

3. When the calibration process completes, repeat step 2 to perform another calibration,

if desired.
