Powering Off the LSM
To power off the LSM:
1. Make sure that no jobs are being run by the drives or robot and that no tapes
are in the drives.
2. Press the power switch (in the bottom of the rear cover of the LSM) to the OFF
position.
Operating in Automated Mode
Automated mode is the normal operating mode of the LSM. When the LSM is
online and the robot is mounting and dismounting cartridges, monitor the LSM
operator panel display messages and respond appropriately. The normal message is
“ONLINE CAP UNLK DISABLD” or “ONLINE - PRESS EXE TO UNLK CAP.”
When an LSM is online, you might need to:
S
Enter a cartridge into the LSM through the cartridge access port (CAP)
S
Eject a cartridge from the LSM through the CAP
S
Replace the cleaning cartridge
The following pages describe how to perform these activities.
Entering a Cartridge through the CAP
If the LSM operator panel displays “ONLINE CAP UNLK DISABLD,” the CAP is
locked by the host. Issue the command using the LSM management software that
puts the LSM in the “ONLINE - PRESS EXE TO UNLK CAP” mode. Then
perform the steps below.
To access the CAP so that you can enter cartridges into it:
1. Press EXECUTE on the LSM operator panel.
a. The panel displays “ONLINE CAP UNLK PENDING.”
b. The CAP drawer begins to slide toward you.
c. The panel displays “ONLINE CAP UNLOCKED.”
2. Pull the CAP drawer further toward you. Hold onto the drawer.
CAUTION:
You must enter the cartridges properly or you might damage the robot
or the drive, or cause the LSM to stop operating.
3. Referring to Figure 3–2, enter the cartridge so that it lies flat, with the
VOLSER showing on the left side of the cartridge as you face the LSM and the
tape leader block cutout on the right side of the cartridge.
4. Slide the drawer into the LSM. The lock automatically engages.
