Operating the LSM in Automated Mode ■ Operating the LSM in Automated Mode When the LSM is online and operating in automated mode, it performs many tasks that you would otherwise perform manually. However, to keep the LSM operating efficiently while the robot is mounting and dismounting cartridges, you may need to do the following: •... -
Page 35: Figure 3-1. Loading A Cartridge Into The Cartridge Access Port
4. Close the CAP. The lock automatically engages. Notes: • The host software determines what happens when you enter a cartridge upside down or with an unreadable label. Under normal conditions, the camera on the hand audits the CAP and recognizes that a cartridge is present, but the hand does not move it. -
Page 36: Ejecting Cartridges Through The Cap

Page 38: Setting The Cleaning Cartridge Usage Count
Cleaning Drives in the LSM Setting the Cleaning Cartridge Usage Count You can use the operator panel to set the maximum number of times a cartridge can be used to make sure that it is effective. Remember that each drive’s cartridge has a maximum number of cleans, and must be replaced when it expires. -
Page 39: Replacing Cleaning Cartridges
Replacing Cleaning Cartridges When an LSM operating in an SCSI control path environment is in AUTO CLEAN mode, the only method to use to replace an expired cleaning cartridge is by selecting the Change Cln Cart instructions. Notes: • Do not load cleaning cartridges through the door of the LSM because the cleaning usage will not increment. -
Page 40: Serial Interface
Cleaning Drives in the LSM Serial Interface If your control path is serial, these items are true: • You do not have the option of using the AUTO CLEAN function from the operator panel. • All drive cleaning is managed by and controlled through the host. The manner which ACSLS (Automated Cartridge System Library Software) handles automatic cleaning operations is defined in the ACSLS 5.3x System Administrator’s Guide, PN 34767. -
