Manual Mode
This section describes the operation of the tape library in manual mode. Manual mode
occurs then the tape library is taken offline, or loses power, or the front door is opened.
Opening the Front Door (Without Power)
To open the front door when no tape library power exists:
1. Press the power switch on the back of the tape library to the OFF position.
2. Remove the robotic facade from the top of the library by gently pulling the facade
from side to side to pull the ball studs away from the clips. You might have to use a
screwdriver to gently pry it off.
Note. You must manually move the robotics park lever (beneath the facade and to the bottom
left of the keypad) to the left position so that you can open the door with the key. Under normal
conditions, the lever signifies that the robot is parked inside the robotics unit at the top of the
tape library, and the door can be safely opened. When no power exists, the robot is not actually
parked, but you will be able to open the door when you move the lever to the left.
