Access Door
The access door allows access to the internal components of the library. Each 5U Library Control Module and 9U Library
Expansion Module has an access door. In most cases, you will not need to access the library through this door except when
you want to bulk load or unload cartridges from the library.
The access door is locked by the I/E station door. To open the access door, you must first open the I/E station door. If you
want to prohibit access to the library, which is recommended for security reasons, lock the I/E station door. This keeps
unauthorized users from accessing tape cartridges.
You can lock and unlock the I/E station door using commands on the Operations menu. If necessary, you can also manually
unlock the I/E station door. For more information, see
If the access door is opened, the library is not available for use. When an access door (on any module) is opened, all in-
progress motion commands are stopped, and the picker slowly lowers to the bottom of the library. When the access door is
closed, the library returns any media in the picker to its original slot and also performs a library inventory.
Caution:
Care should be taken to avoid opening the access door during robotic operations since the robot will stop
immediately and will fail to complete the current operation.
