Running your Library
For everyday tasks, the Command menu is the most frequently used menu. Most actions associated with
this menu are related to physical movement in the library. For example, importing tape cartridges or moving
a tape cartridge to a specific slot are considered everyday tasks. These commands all require the library to
be in an Offline state.
Turning on the Library
Use the following steps to turn on the library.
1 If you have not unlocked the front door and cleared the area of packaging materials, do so now. (Refer
to
Unpacking your Library on page 14).
2 Turn on the rear power switch and then turn on the front power switch. The library firmware will
automatically begin the teach and inventory processes.
3 Turn on your host computer and verify SCSI communication. (Refer to Verifying Communication with
the Host on page 22.)
4 Once the inventory and teach process is complete, we recommend you run demo for at least five cycles.
To do this, place the library in an Offline state, and then chose Main Menu > Service > Library >
Exercise > Demo.
Turning off the Library
The library can be shut down normally or by the emergency shutdown method. Except in emergencies, stop
the library with the normal shutdown procedure before switching off the rear power switch. ADIC is not
responsible for damage caused by improper use of the rear power switch. All risk lies entirely with the user.
1 If the library is in an ONLINE state, from the main menu, select Online/Offline.
2 Press OK. Visually confirm that the library has changed to the OFFLINE state.
CAUTION
In emergency situations, immediately switch off the rear power
switch. This removes all power from the library.
