Powering-on and IPLing the LSM
CAUTION:
To prevent damage to the DLT drive, make sure that each drive is empty
and each DLT handle is up. On older model drives, you can see if the
handle is down. On newer model drives, look for the white hub. If the hub
is up, the handle is down.
Figure 3-1 on page 3-2 shows the handle
positions.
If the handle is down and the Operate Handle indicator is on, push the
shuttle all the way back, pause, then release. The handle will rise. If the
indicator is off, contact your customer services engineer for assistance.
To power-on the LSM, press the power switch (in the bottom of the rear cover
of the LSM) to the ON position.
Note: If the LSM does not power-on, contact Customer Support and report the
problem.
To IPL the LSM, press the IPL softkey on the operator panel to IPL the LSM.
