Powering the Library Up or Down
To power the library up or down:
S
TEPS
1. Press the power button on the front panel of the 24Q or 48Q Tape Library.
2. Powering up can take a few minutes because it includes scanning the inventory and
configuration (for example, how many and what type of drives are installed).
Operator Control Panel (OCP)
Operating Modes
The OCP operates in two basic modes:
• User interaction mode: This mode is employed when a user is pushing buttons on the
operating panel.
• System driven mode: This is the normal mode of operation. In this mode, the OCP displays
status associated with the actions that were caused from commands issued from the EditShare
Ark Tape application. Actions like loading, rewinding or moving tape cartridges will be
displayed.
Whenever an operating button is pressed and released, the operating panel automatically
transitions to user interaction mode. The user interaction mode will be active until 3 minutes after
the user stops pushing buttons, or the requested media changer activity stops - whichever is
longer. At this time, the operating panel will return to the system driven mode.
In the event that the administrator-programed user security feature is in use, the user interaction
mode is restricted to the information and login menu screens, until a login with correct PIN is
entered.
