4.2.3.1 Operating panel on the device

The tape library is by default operated via the Operator Control Panel (OCP). The LCD display of the OCP shows
the tape library's operating status and actions (e.g. "Loading", "Rewinding" or "Moving tape").
i
The tape library is protected by preinstalled IDs and passwords. Customer Support knows these IDs and
passwords. You are recommended to change these passwords at startup. If you change the passwords,
please ensure that the changed passwords are available when support is required.
Basic rules
OCP operation must obey some basic rules:
Any operational conflict between commands received over the BS2000 system and those entered via the OCP
will be avoided with a reservation mechanism on a 'firstcome, first-served' basis. The OCP commands are stored
only until a logout or automatic timeout takes place, or until Manual Mode is returned to automatically (see
"Modes of the tape library"
Library firmware will not allow a user to select an impossible action, e.g.:
Moving a cartridge from any source to a full slot
Moving a cartridge from an empty slot
Loading a cartridge from any source to a full drive
Unloading a cartridge from an empty drive
Any error detected by the library or drive controller and not recoverable through predetermined firmware
algorithms will be considered as fatal. An error code will be displayed on the LCD screen and the error LED will
become illuminated. The error code will remain displayed until a push button is pressed on the operator control
panel. This then causes the LCD screen to return to the Home Screen of the menu system.
Power-up display
When the tape library powers up after pressing th power button, or resets, it goes through several internally
controlled processes that allows it to get initialized and running. These processes are called Power-On-Self-Test
(POST). While the POST is happening, the LCD screen shall have appropriate information displayed to keep the
user informed. When the tape library finishes coming alive, it will display the current device status for a defined time
or until a key is pressed.
After this initial status screen the home screen will be shown until a key is pressed. This home screen shows the
overall health of the tape library, indicating the status of the robotic and the connected drives.
Note about the LEDs
All LEDs are updated during Power Up and Reset sequences. Upon power up or software Reset, the loader will
illuminate all LEDs as soon as POST allows. This will help the User to verify if all LEDs are functional. When
initialization starts, all LEDs will be extinguished and the Ready/Activity LED will flash at a reasonable rate of
approximately 1-second per cycle, 50% duty cycle. When the mechanical initialization is complete, the Ready
/Activity LED will stop flashing and be constantly illuminated.
If a loader failure occurs, the Ready/Activity LED will be turned off and the Error LED will be illuminated. The LCD
screen will also display an appropriate error code to help identify the failure.
