Powering On or IPLing the LSM
CAUTION:
To prevent damage to the drive, make sure that each drive is empty and
each DLT handle is up. On DLT4000 model drives, you can see whether
the handle is down. On DLT7000 model drives, look for the white hub. If
the hub is up, the handle is down.
Figure 3-1 shows the handle
positions.
If the handle is down and the Operate Handle indicator is on, push the
shuttle all the way back, pause, then release. The handle will rise. If the
indicator is not on, contact your customer engineer for assistance.
The above caution does not apply to the 9840 tape drives. The 9840
drives do not have a handle.
To power on the LSM, lift the power switch on the bottom right corner of the
right front door of the LSM.
To IPL the LSM, press the IPL softkey on the LSM operator panel.
