Powering off the library
To power off the library:
1. Place the library off-line, see “Placing the library on-line or off-line” on
page 58.
The library robotics completes any current commands and then stops.
2. Verify that the OCP display indicates “Off-line” from the
Operations screen.
3. Verify that the media picker is empty.
4. Verify that no backups are in process.
5. Turn off the power switch located on the front of the library (see Figure 22 on
page 56).
6. Wait for the library to complete the shutdown process. (This usually takes 30
seconds, but may take up to two minutes.)
7. Open the back door of the library cabinet and flip the breaker switches to the
off position (left). The breaker switches are on the power distribution unit
located on the bottom left side of the library cabinet.
Note: When powering off the library, ensure that the two breaker switches on the
power distribution unit are in the off (left) position.
