When you power on the library, it executes a power on initialization sequence for about 2
minutes. During that time, the menus on the touchscreen display are not available for use.
After the power on initialization sequence, the library performs an inventory of the tape
cartridges, which takes less than 60 seconds per frame. The sequence is complete and the
library is available for use when the message
READY
displays on the Activity screen.
