The presence or absence of the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons on the Activity screen depends
on whether the frame supports the security feature for the operator panel and whether that
feature has been enabled. Models L23 and L53 support the optional security feature; Models

enabled, you can use the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons to control access to the panel. To
enable or disable security for the operator panel, use the IBM® System Storage™ Tape
Library Specialist Web interface (go to
Enabling or disabling security for the operator panel
