Note: On rack mount installations, run the rack PDU power cord through the hook-and-loop fastener
strap on the right rear bracket, and tighten the strap. The rack PDU power cord is a special power cord
that plugs into a rack power strip.
2. Plug the other end of the power cord into the nearest properly grounded power outlet. On rack mount
installations, plug the other end of the rack PDU power cord into the nearest rack PDU.
3. Power ON the library by toggling the power switch on the power supply to the ON (|) position.
4. Wait for the library to initialize.
During initialization, the library completes a Power ON Self Test (POST) to ensure that the library
hardware is functional. The library also tests communications with the tape drive over the internal bus.
Note: If the Operator Panel does not initialize, check all cable connections, and ensure that the cartridge
magazine is closed and in the locked position. Ensure that the power supply switch is in the ON position.
If the Operator Panel still does not initialize, see Chapter 6, “Troubleshooting,” on page 101.
Important: To disconnect all power from the library, turn the power switch to the OFF position, then
remove the power cord from the outlet. The power switch removes power from portions of the library and
the drive, but the power supply still has ac power at its input.
Note: When the library is power-cycled, wait 10 seconds after the power is OFF before the library is
powered ON again.
Conguring the library
The library can be congured with the Web User Interface or the Operator Panel. The preferred method
for conguring your library is by using the Web User Interface. See “Conguring your library with the
Operator Panel” on page 45 and “Conguring your library with the Web User Interface” on page 32.
For complete detailed information about all of the functions available on the library with the Operator
Panel and the Web User Interface, see Chapter 4, “Operations,” on page 52.
The default library conguration settings are listed in Table 13 on page 30.
