Operating the Service Safety Door
15-4 StorageTek SL8500 User's Guide
With the safety door in place, the library continues to process host requests. The
library will queue any mount requests for slots next to or behind the safety door until
the service representative finishes. Once the access door is closed and locked, the
service safety door moves to the center of the library. The robots then resume their full
service.
Accessing the Left Maintenance Area
Before activating the safety door, the service representative should take the left
elevator and left bulk CAPs offline using SLC. After completing the maintenance
activity, the service representative should bring the left elevator and bulk CAPs back
online.
Accessing the Right Maintenance Area
Before activating the safety door, the service representative should take the right
elevator and rotational or right bulk CAPs offline using SLC. After completing the
maintenance activity, the service representative should bring the CAPs and the right
elevator online.
