2. Plug the other end of the power cord into the nearest properly grounded power outlet. On rack mount installations, plug the other end of the rack PDU power cord
into the nearest rack PDU.
3. Power ON the library by toggling the power switch on the power supply to the ON (|) position.
4. Wait for the library to initialize.
During initialization, the library completes a Power ON Self-Test (POST) to ensure that the library hardware is functional. The library also tests communications with
the tape drive over the internal bus.
After the library is turned ON, an inventory is conducted automatically.
Note:
If the Operator Panel does not initialize, check all cable connections, and ensure that the cartridge magazine is closed and in the locked position. Ensure that the
power supply switch is in the ON position. If the Operator Panel still does not initialize, see
.
When the library is power-cycled, wait 10 seconds after the power is OFF before the library is powered ON again.
Important: To disconnect all power from the library, turn the power switch to the OFF position, then remove the power cord from the outlet. The power switch removes
power from portions of the library and the drive, but the power supply still has ac power at its input.
