Perform the AutoInstall

AutoInstall (Firmware and Option Keys)

The USB drive that came in your Document Kit (see Unpack and Verify the Components on page 1) contains the library’s firmware as well as the option keys that you purchased. Follow these steps to load the firmware and keys.

1.Insert the USB drive in the USB port at the back of the library.

2.Plug the power cord in if it is not already connected.

3.Press the front panel power button for two to three seconds.

4.Wait while the library performs its power-on sequence, which typically takes six to nine minutes.

During the AutoInstall process, the library upgrades the firmware from the USB drive, reboots itself, and automatically installs the option keys during the remainder of the power-on sequence.

Important! Do not remove the USB drive until after the Login screen appears, but do not leave the USB drive in the library after the installation.

Load Cartridges

Cartridge Loading If you have only one partition enabled, use Bulk Load for the initial setup. Refer to the Spectra T50e Library User Guide if you have more than one partition.

1.Using the stylus, select Menu > General > Import/Export > Bulk Load. Both left-side magazines release.

2. Remove the bottom left magazine and set it on a stable surface. CAUTION! Be careful while handling fully-loaded magazines as they are heavy!

3.Load the cartridges sequentially starting at slot 1 and continue with the top left-side magazine, if needed. Reinsert the left-side magazine(s) and continue with the right-side magazines, if needed. See the Spectra T50e Library User Guide for information about the expansion slots (slots 48 through 50).

4.Gently push each magazine into the library until it is fully seated and press Stop Importing. The library inventories the cartridges.
