2. Wait while the library completes its power-on sequence. After the
library completes its power-on sequence, the Library Initialization
screen displays (see Figure 40 on page 87). This screen lists the required
initialization steps and current status of the library’s major components
(Robotics and LCM). Text boxes provide descriptions about the
currently active tasks.
3. After initialization is complete, the BlueScale login screen displays (see
Log Into the User Interface on page 87).
Note: If the library cannot complete the initialization process, it
generates system messages and enters maintenance mode.
Contact Spectra Logic Technical Support for assistance.
Use the Automatic Power-Up After Power Failure Feature
The Automatic Power-Up After Power Failure feature lets you configure
the library to power on without user intervention after a power failure.
Notes: The Automatic Power-Up After Power Failure feature must
be enabled on the System Setup screen (see Enable
Automatic Power-Up After Power Failure on page 107).
The library does not automatically power on if it was powered
off using the front panel power button or the Soft Power feature.
Power Off the Library
Before powering off the library, use the following steps to prepare for shut-
down.
1. Use your storage management software to stop any backups running to
the library.
2. Pause PostScan if it is running (see Pause the PostScan Process on
page 297). Any tapes currently being scanned are returned to their
storage locations.
3. Power off the library using one of the methods described in the
following sections.
Note: If you intend to leave the library powered down for an extended
length of time, set the AC breaker switches on the back of the
library (see Figure 83 on page 156) to the off position after you
power off the library.
Use the Front Panel Power Button
To power off the library, press and hold the front panel power button for
approximately 5 seconds (the button’s LED starts flashing). The library
begins its power-off sequence, which allows the BlueScale software and
components to shut down gracefully.
