located on the front of the 5U Library Control Module and on the front of 9U Library Expansion Modules. A 5U I/E station has a
capacity of six cartridges. A 9U I/E station has a capacity of 12 cartridges.
The I/E stations can also be configured as storage as well as become part of a logical division of library resources known as a
partition. The I/E station is shared among all partitions, but the I/E station slots are owned by one partition at a time. When
an I/E station slot is assigned to a partition, only the assigned partition can access that slot.
Operator Panel
The operator panel is the touch screen display device upon which the graphical user interface (GUI) appears. The operator
panel is located on the access door of the 5U Library Control Module. The library operations and service functions are
performed from this screen. The GUI is also accessible through a remote Web client. For more information on the library user
interfaces, see
Understanding the User Interface.
Front Power Button
Turning off the front power button turns off the robot and operator panel, but power still runs to the power supplies. Use the
front power button to manually shut down the library. See
Shutting Down or Restarting the Library for instructions on how to
shut down or restart the library safely.
