door of any frame, insert the key into the keylock and turn it counterclockwise
approximately 180°.
Figure 1. Front door of the TS3500 Tape Library
. The operator panel is mounted on the front
door of the base frame. A Model L22 or L52 is shown.
Each frame of the TS3500 Tape Library also includes a rear door with a keylock and key
(the keys to all rear doors are interchangeable). To unlock the rear door of any frame,
insert the key into the keylock and turn it clockwise.
The keys to the front and rear doors are not interchangeable.
With the exception of the service bays, if you open the front door of any frame during an
operation the TS3500 Tape Library fails the active operation and rejects new requests for
operations until all doors are closed. Note that application processes may fail if you do not
halt the application before opening the front door. Approximately 15 seconds after you have
closed all doors, the library performs an inventory update for frames whose doors have
been opened (a process that determines whether cartridges have been added to or removed
from the library, or moved within the library). Following the inventory, the library accepts
new requests for operations.
If you need to open the door of a service bay, press the PAUSE key to avoid failing the
active operation (the PAUSE key is located on the Activity screen).
