Chapter 1 Library Description Operator-Accessible Components Operator-Accessible Components The following P1000 components are operator-accessible: • • • • The following sections describe each of these components. Front Panel The front panel consists of the GUI, the front doors and key lock, the power switch, and the load port (see figure 5).
Page 25: Figure 6 Gui: Initial Screen
The front doors provide access to the load packs and the tape drives. They allow you to insert and remove tape cartridges and manually perform tape drive functions. Warning: Before opening the front doors of the P1000, make sure the Horizontal bar Back...

Page 49: Figure 25 Correct Tape Cartridge Orientation
Set both packs aside. Reaching in through the front doors of the library, insert a tape cartridge into each of the nine storage bins above the tape drives. (See figure 25 for the correct tape cartridge orientation.) Each cartridge should slide into place with very little force. If a cartridge does not slide into place easily, check the cartridge for correct orientation and structural integrity.
