Control Panel
The control panel assembly, located at an angle on the front panel assembly, provides
the user with system status, control, and diagnostics. System functions are queried
through the keypad and viewed through the display. The robotic controller
communicates with the control panel assembly over a synchronous serial interface.
For a description of how to use the library menus accessed through the control
panel, refer to Appendix A, “Control Panel Menus.” For a description of how to use
the control panel to operate the library, refer to the Sun ETL 7/3500 Operator’s Guide.
Load Port Assembly
The load port (
FIGURE 1-10

panel. Under library control and in conjunction with the load port OPEN and
CLOSE buttons, it enables the operator to insert and/or remove up to four tape
cartridges.
For a load operation, press the load port OPEN button. When the indicator stops
blinking, the load port door automatically opens (and locks in the open position)
enabling the operator to insert tape cartridges.
