Opening The Sliding Access Panel - Quantum Scalar 218FC User Manual

Opening the Sliding Access Panel

Do not open the sliding access panel unless you need to replace data cartridges,
or perform a maintenance operation.
Desktop Unit
A sensor monitors the position of the access panel. Whenever the panel is opened all Media Picker
activity stops and a SCSI UNIT ATTENTION is returned to the host. Drive activity is unaffected by the
position of the panel. When the panel is again closed, the Scalar 218FC resets, calibrates the Media
Picker, and waits for a command from the host.
Insert the key into the lock and turn it to the left to unlock.
Wait until any current application operations are completed.
Turn the lock ¼ turn in either direction and hold while pushing the sliding access panel toward the
rear of the Scalar 218FC.
Rack-mount Unit
A sensor monitors the position of the Scalar in the rack. Whenever the Scalar is pulled out from the
rack, all Media Picker activity stops and a SCSI UNIT ATTENTION is returned to the host. Drive
activity is unaffected by the position of the front panel. When the Scalar is pushed back into the rack,
the Scalar 218FC resets, calibrates the Media Picker, and waits for a command from the host.
Insert the key into the front panel slam lock and turn it to the left to unlock.
Wait until any current application operations are completed.
Turn the slam lock knob ¼ turn in either direction and hold while pulling the Scalar out of the rack.
