Front panel for automation use
Full-height drives
2. Access hole for emergency reset switch1. Eject button
4. LEDs3. Holes for optical sensors
The automation front panel has the following features:
• There is an eject button for manually ejecting a cartridge. Press this for approximately ten seconds
to start a “forced eject” for recovering a cartridge manually. See “Emergency unload” on page
61 for details.
• Indicator LEDs provide a visible indicator of the state of health of the drive. See “Other LED pat-
terns” on page 23 for details.
• There is no door. Instead there are two fixed guides to guide the cartridge into the drive.
• The indent for a label on the left just under the cartridge opening is left blank, exposing two holes.
These can be used to provide a target for the optical position sensor of a library picker.
• There are additional holes around the cartridge opening to allow a throat to be fitted if necessary,
to help the smooth loading of cartridges.
