Operating In Manual Mode
The following pages describe operations that you can perform when the tape library is
in the manual mode. Manual mode takes effect when the tape library is not online or
loses power.
When the tape library is offline, you might need to:
•
Open the front door
•
Move the robot
•
Locate a cartridge in the storage cells
•
Remove a cartridge from the hand
•
Mount a cartridge from a tape drive
Before starting any of these tasks, take precautions against electrostatic discharge
(ESD).
After you open the library door:
1. Touch a gray, unpainted metal surface, such as the tape library frame just inside
the front door.
2. Keep all body movement to a minimum as you touch the tape drives and tape
library components.
Antistatic wrist straps with clip-on ends are commercially available.
Caution. Even a small electrostatic discharge can damage an electrical component inside the
tape library. A damaged component might not fail immediately, but it will become worse over
time, possibly causing intermittent problems. Be sure to touch gray, unpainted metal before
reaching inside the tape library.
