Powering Down The Library; Shipping The Library; Rebooting The Drive; Rebooting The Library - IBM TS2900 Setup, Operator, And Service Manual

Powering down the library

Before powering OFF the library, ensure that the library is in an idle state with no mechanical movement
of the accessor, and all data operations (for example, backup operations, accessing of log files) are
complete. Then, power OFF the library with the power switch on the rear panel of the library.
Important: If you switch the library power OFF while the library is being accessed, loss of data might
occur.
Note: When power cycling the library, wait 10 seconds after the power is OFF before the library is
powered ON again.

Shipping the library

Figure 63. Move to Ship Position command
Select Commands > Move to Ship Position when the library is prepared to move to a new location. The
accessor must be placed in a parked position within the library housing. Move to Ship Position finishes
all active commands that are received from the host application, does not process any new commands,
and moves the accessor to the parked position before the power is turned OFF.
1. When Unlock Magazine is displayed, press Enter to unlock the cartridge magazine. The magazine
unlocks and the display prompts the removal of the magazine.
2. Remove all cartridges from the magazine and reinsert the magazine into the slide mechanism. The
library completes an inventory to verify no cartridges are in the magazine.
3. If the magazine is empty, the library moves the accessor to the ship position. The library can be
powered down. If the magazine is NOT empty, the library prompts to remove cartridges. After all
cartridges are removed and the magazine is replaced, start the ship position process again.
