This section describes the operator panel of the TS3500 Tape Library.
In the TS3500 Tape Library, the operator panel is located on the front door of the base
frame. The panel provides an indicator light and controls that let you perform operations
and determine the status of the library. It consists of the following components (see Figure
1):
1 Library power switch
A toggle switch that lets you power the TS3500 Tape Library on and off.
2 Power-on indicator
A green light that, when lit, indicates that dc power is available within the library.
3 Power switch door
For Models L22, L23, L52, and L53 only (not Model L32), a transparent door that
protects the power switch and power-on indicator. To access the power switch, pull
the transparent door toward you.
4 Touchscreen LCD
A liquid crystal display (LCD) that, when touched on the touch keys, shows the
library's status and menus. Use the display to perform basic and advanced
operations (service personnel use the display to run diagnostic tests and observe
results). The LCD displays 12 to 15 lines of characters.
5 Touch keys
An array of small, touch-sensitive keypads that lets you select and navigate through
menus. For most menus, the keypads are defined as BACK, UP, DOWN, and ENTER.
To acknowledge that it has been pressed, a touch key initiates an audible beep when
you press it. To disable the keypress beep, refer the section about enabling or
disabling the keypress beep.
