Use the Soft Power Feature
The Soft Power feature disables the physical power button on the library
front panel and enables the soft power button on the General Status screen.
Using the Soft Power feature gives users with superuser privileges
exclusive control over powering the library off; other types of users cannot
power off the library, either by using the physical power button on the
library front panel or the Soft Power button on the General Status screen.
Notes: The Soft Power feature is only available from the library’s
front panel touch screen interface; it is not available through
the BlueScale web interface (RLC).
When you click the Soft Power button, you must respond to a
confirmation message before the library is powered off.
The Soft Power feature must be enabled on the System Setup
screen before you can use it (see Enable Soft Power on
page 108).
The feature can only be enabled or disabled by a superuser.
Follow these steps to power off the library using the Soft Power feature.
1. Log into the library as a user with superuser privileges (see Log Into the
User Interface on page 87).
2. From the toolbar, access the General Status screen.
3. Using the stylus, touch the blue power button on the picture of the
library.
When the cursor comes near the button, it changes to a pointing finger,
as shown in
Figure 85.
