Keep this guide near the library for quick reference about the most common
library operations. Refer to the
Spectra T950V Library User Guide
support.spectralogic.com/documentation
for detailed library information.
Power On
Press and hold the front panel power button for several seconds
until the button’s LED illuminates. Wait while the library completes its power-on
sequence, which takes about five minutes depending on the library configuration.
During the power-on sequence the library initializes all components.
Power Off
If the power button is illuminated, press and hold the front panel
power button until the button’s LED starts flashing (about 6 seconds). If the
button is not illuminated (but the library is running), log in as a superuser and
use the General Status screen soft power button. The power-off sequence takes
approximately one minute to allow applications to shut down gracefully.
Note:
If the library is experiencing problems, do not power it off unless
specifically directed to do so by Spectra Logic Technical Support.
