Keep this guide near the library for quick reference about the most common
library operations. Refer to the Spectra T950 Library User Guide at
support.spectralogic.com/documentation for detailed library information.
Power On Press and hold the front panel power button until the button’s LED
illuminates (about 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 If the power button is illuminated, press and hold the front panel
power button until the button’s LED starts flashing (about 6 seconds). If the
button is not illuminated (but the library is running), log in as a superuser and
use the General Status screen soft power button. The power-off sequence takes
approximately one minute to allow applications to shut down gracefully.
Note:If the library is experiencing problems, do not power it off unless
specifically directed to do so by Spectra Logic Technical Support.

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, use the stylus to
select 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.
IMPORTANT When accessing the library remotely through a web browser,
do not use the Enter key on your keyboard 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 click the
on-screen buttons in BlueScale screens instead of using your keyboard.
External Keyboard—You can connect a USB keyboard and mouse directly
to the LCM.
