Timeouts - HP E Series User Manual

Five navigation tabs can be displayed at the bottom of the screen. One of the tabs can be the thumbtack
(in or out) that was discussed in
• Help—Displays help text for features appearing on that screen.
• Page Up—Scrolls text to a previous page when text is longer than a page in size.
• Page Down—Scrolls text to the following page when text is longer than a page in size.
• Back—Moves you one level up in the menu tree. All screens except the Home, test status, error
message, and keypad screens have this tab at the lower, right corner. Returning to the Home screen
removes all password privileges from screens granted access.

Timeouts

The library enters a timeout state after five minutes of inactivity. In this state:
• The OCP backlight turns off.
• Password privileges are removed on all screens granted access.
• The OCP returns to either the Home screen or a thumbtack screen, when one is designated. If a
thumbtacked screen consists of more than one page, the pages cycle every five seconds.
Touching a screen in a timeout state turns on the backlight. Subsequent touches after the backlight is lit
perform the requested command.
The following are special timeout cases:
• When a service password is entered, the length of time to enter a timeout state changes from 5
minutes to 30 minutes. If the OCP is touched during the 30-minute period, the library reverts to a
normal 5-minute period before a timeout.
• If a warning condition occurs while the library is timed-out, the backlight comes on for 30 minutes. If
the OCP is touched during this 30-minute period, the library reverts to a normal 5-minute period
before a timeout. Otherwise, the library re-enters a normal timeout state after 30 minutes.
• If an error condition occurs while the library is timed-out, the backlight comes on for 60 minutes. If the
OCP is touched during this 60-minute period, the library reverts to a normal 5-minute period before a
timeout. Otherwise, the library re-enters a normal timeout state after 60 minutes.
For certain functions, the timeout feature is disabled and re-enabled when the function completes. This
occurs:
• During an operation and until the operation completes. For example, the OCP does not time out while
a drive clean operation is in progress but waits for the operation to complete before starting the
5-minute timeout counter.
• While displaying the results of any test operation. Select the Cancel or OK button to return to the test
menu screen.
• When displaying an error report or menu after an error. The screen is treated as temporarily
thumbtacked, which clears the passworded screens after the normal timeout period, but displays the
screen until it is acknowledged.
• When success or failure messages display for an operation. The screen is temporarily thumbtacked,
clearing the passworded screens after the normal timeout period, but the screen is displayed until
acknowledged.
