70 Running the Library
Manual/Emergency Release of Magazines
In failure situations (either with the library itself, in the event of a power loss, or in situations where you
need to manually release the magazines), a manual/emergency release operation is available. To
activate the emergency magazine release feature, you must use the magazine release tool that is
fastened to the back of the library. See Figure 2. This tool must be inserted through the hole at the
bottom of each magazine, as shown in Figure 36.
Caution
Make sure you turn OFF the power before you use the manual emergency
release tool

6. To leave the standby mode, press the standby button for 2 seconds. The StorageLibrary will then
re-start and perform a full inventory check.
