Initialization Sequence

Supplying Power

To connect the library to the power source:
1. Make sure that the male end of the cable is labeled with the library address
and location.
2. Connect the power cable to the customers power receptacle.
3. Turn on the circuit breaker.
4. Make sure that the power switches for the drives are in the ON (|) position.
5. Close the drive access door.
6. Power-on the library by lifting up on the power switch. See
page 4-4
The library will begin its initial program load (IPL) of the microcode and
start the initialization sequence.
7. Close the rear door of the library.
Initialization Sequence
An initialization sequence occurs when the library powers-on or when you
open and close the library's front door.
The MPC/MPCL card directs the initialization sequence, which consists of:
• Initialization and calibration of robotic mechanisms
• Calibration of the vision system
• Testing of robot motion
• Testing of hand assembly
• Audit of tapes within the library
• Drive targeting and check for "in flux" condition on DLT drives
• Audit of reserve cells
• Cycling of each drive's load handle (for DLT drives)
These steps are explained in the following sections.
