Keep this guide near the library for quick reference to the most common
library operations. Refer to the Spectra T200, T380, and T680 User Guide on the
library’s Product CD and at support.spectralogic.com/documentation for
detailed information about configuring, using, and maintaining the library.
Power On To power on the library, press and hold the front panel power
button until the button’s LED illuminates (about 2–3 seconds). Wait while the
library completes its power-on sequence, which takes about five minutes
depending on the library configuration. During the power-on sequence the
library initializes all components.
Power Off To power off the library, press and hold the front panel power
button until the button’s LED starts flashing (about 6 seconds). The power-off
sequence takes approximately one minute while the library allows applications
to shut down gracefully.
Note:If the library is experiencing problems, do not power it off unless
specifically directed to do so by SpectraGuard Technical Support.
Log Into the Library: After the power-on sequence completes, the login
screen displays.

Keyboard Options Entering information into a library screen requires a
keyboard. You can use any of these keyboard options:
Soft Keyboard—When using the touch screen, touch the keyboard icon in the
lower right corner of the screen to activate the on-screen keyboard.
BlueScale Web Interface—You can connect the library to an Ethernet
network and access the user interface through the BlueScale web interface
using a standard web browser.
External Keyboard—You can connect a keyboard and mouse directly into the
LCM, located on the back of the library.
I
MPORTANT: When accessing the library remotely through a web browser,
do not use the keyboard Enter key when entering information in any of the
text fields. Various web browsers handle the Enter key differently, causing
inconsistent behavior in the BlueScale interface.
Always use the onscreen buttons in BlueScale screens instead of using your
keyboard.
