Organization
This guide has four chapters and one appendix:
Chapter 1 “General Information” describes the LSM hardware.
Chapter 2 “Controls, Indicators, and Configuration” shows the locations of
the power switch and operator panel, and describes the
functions of the softkeys, indicators, and display. This chapter
also shows how to set the SCSI robotic address and maximum
usage count for the cleaning cartridge.
Chapter 3 “Operating the LSM” contains the procedures to operate the
LSM. The procedures include how to power on and power off
the units, perform automated operations (enter and eject a
cartridge through the cartridge access port), and perform manual
operations (mount and dismount cartridges).
Chapter 4 “Cartridges” describes how to prepare, inspect, store, and clean
cartridges.
Appendix A “Specifications” lists basic supplies and accessories,
specifications, and agency certifications.
A glossary of relevant terms and acronyms and an index are located after the
appendix. A Reader Comment Form at the back of the guide is for
communicating suggestions or requests for change. We encourage and
