Private/Calibration Page - Qualstar RLS-8350 Technical & Service Manual

5.2 Private/Calibration Page

When certain FRU's (Field Replaceable Units) are installed the library will need to be
calibrated to adjust for mechanical manufacturing tolerances. The RLS has been de-
signed to detect when it needs to be calibrated and will place a message on the control
panel at that time. Normal library operation will not continue until the calibration
process has been completed.
The Private/Calibration page consists of four individual pages that can be viewed by
pressing the up or down buttons in the bottom left corner of the page. Information on
these pages may be edited by pressing the Edit button. Note that changes to these
screens will not be saved until the Save button is pressed. Pressing the Cancel button
will remove all of the current editing and revert to the last saved version of the li-
brary page.
The Calibrate button should not be pressed without a specific reason for doing so, be-
cause it involves risk. For example, if the Calibrate command is used incorrectly, im-
proper Handler operation may result. Therefore, if the Handler is properly picking
and placing cartridges, and the user does not have a specific reason for using the Cal-
ibrate command, recalibrating the RLS is not recommended.
Before starting calibration the handler and certain storage array magazine rows must be
emptied of any tape cartridges. Please look at the libraries control panel for instructions
detailing exactly which rows must be emptied for individual models. After the tape car-
tridges have been removed pressing the Calibrate button will begin the calibration pro-
cess, which may take several minutes to complete.
Pressing the Diagnose button will cause the RLS to perform a system wide diagnostic
analysis, which may take several minutes to complete. Check the information box at
the bottom of the Home page for information resulting from the analysis.
