Reset the Power Control Module
The main frame and each drive expansion frame has a PCM. To reset the
over‐current circuit that protects the power system in the event of a voltage
surge, insert the tip of a toothpick or other similar non‐conductive object
into the hole on the back of the PCM to press the reset button.
Do not use a metallic object to press the reset button. You may inadvertently cause

ESTING THE
Overview If you are experiencing problems that result in system messages
indicating that there is a problem with the library's robotics (for example,
motion failures), Spectra Logic Technical Support may instruct you to
perform basic motion tests of the robotics. You only need to perform this
test if you are instructed to do so.
The Run All Motion Basic Tests feature described in this section performs
the same series of tests on the robotics as the "Run All Motion Basic Tests"
diagnostic accessed by selecting Maintenance > Diagnostics. When the
tests are started from the Robotics Status screen, they run in the
background; you can continue to use the BlueScale interface to perform
other tasks. When the tests are started from the Diagnostics screen, you
must wait until the tests are complete before you can perform other tasks.
The library runs all of the tests, even if one or more of the tests fail. When
all of the tests are complete, the library generates a system message that
contains the status for all the tests.
Emailing Test Results If Spectra Logic Technical Support requests the
results of the test, you can email the Robotic Motion trace to Spectra Logic
Technical Support (see Capturing Traces on page 332).
User Privilege Requirements Only a user with superuser or administrator
privileges can test the robotics.
