You can lock and unlock the I/E station door using commands on the Operations menu. If necessary, you
can also lock and unlock the I/E station door manually, using a T10 TORX screwdriver. For more information
on these methods of locking and unlocking the I/E station door, see
Locking and Unlocking the I/E Stations
on page 66.
If the access door is opened, the library is not available for use. When an access door (on any module) is
opened, all in-progress motion commands are stopped, and the picker slowly lowers to the bottom of the
library. When the access door is closed, the library returns any media in the picker to its original slot and
also performs a library inventory.
I/E Station
I/E stations enable importing and exporting cartridges with minimal interruption of normal library operations.
I/E stations are located on the front of the control module and on the front of expansion modules. A 5U I/E
station has a capacity of six cartridges within a removable magazine. A 9U I/E station has a capacity of 12
cartridges within two removable magazines.
The I/E stations can also be configured as storage as well as become part of a logical division of library
resources known as a partition. The I/E station is shared among all partitions, but the I/E station slots are
owned by one partition at a time. When an I/E station slot is assigned to a partition, only that partition can
access that slot.
Operator Panel
The operator panel is the touch screen display device upon which the graphical user interface (GUI)
appears. The operator panel is located on the access door of the control module. The library operations and
service functions are performed from this screen. The GUI is also accessible through a remote web client.
For more information on the library user interfaces, see
Understanding the User Interface on page 21.
Front Power Switch
Turning off the front power switch turns off the robot and operator panel, but power still runs to the power
supplies. Use the front power switch to manually reboot or shut down the library. See
Shutting Down or
Restarting the Library on page 67 for instructions on how to shut down or restart the library safely.
Back Panel Components
Figure 5 on page 8 shows the back panel components of the library. The paragraphs following Figure 5
describe the components in detail.
CAUTION
CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO AVOID OPENING THE ACCESS DOOR
DURING ROBOTIC OPERATIONS SINCE THE ROBOT WILL STOP
IMMEDIATELY AND WILL FAIL TO COMPLETE THE CURRENT
OPERATION.
