Sun Microsystems SL500 manual Manual Operations, Library Safety

CH A P T E R 9

Manual Operations

When in manual mode of operation, the library is unavailable for host access. This may be because the library has experienced an unrecoverable error or a library component requires service or installation. When the library is in this mode, cartridge mounts and dismounts require human intervention.

Library Safety

Thoroughly review the safety precautions in this section before attempting to enter the library. It is essential that you follow proper safety procedures at all times.

Cards and Power Supply

The RLC card, SCSI (MPW/RLW) or Fibre Channel (MPU2) interface card, and the power supply are housed inside protective modules to prevent you from coming into contact with hazardous voltages and sensitive electronics.

Robotics

The software parks the robot by retracting it into the robotics unit module before the front door can be opened to prevent the robot from being damaged.

When the front door is opened, power is removed from the robot.

Front Door

The front door must be opened with a key to ensure that the data is secure. If the door is not fully closed, a sensor relays the condition to the software and the robot remains disabled.
