Goal

SL8500 - Procedure to Power Off Library Completely

I'd like to know procedure to power off the sl8500 (electrically).
Only find from SL Console and the other applications , but customer needs the steps in order to stop the Robot.

Solution

The library was designed to be available to the customer 99.999% of the time.
Instructions for power off are not provided, most likely, because of this up time metric.

If the customer wishes to "stop the robot", there are 3 methods to remove power from the robots alone.
1) Press the red emergency robotic stop (ERS) button on the front of the library.
2) Open either of the two front main access doors
3) Press the lit, red emergency robotic stop button on the back inside of the library. Near the tape drives
left hand side.

Any of these 3 options will remove power to all four rails that control your robots.

If the goal of the customer is to remove all power from the SL8500, the customer should:
1) Stop all tape activity to the library, by bringing down the client applications that use the library.
2) At the library control software, ensure all CAP activity has completed (enters and ejects)
3) Verify there are no tapes mounted in any tape drive with the display or query commands.
4) Vary of modify the SL8500 (single ACS or minimum 4 LSM's) offline.
5) Open the rear doors of the SL8500.
6) Remove AC power from the library by placing the main AC breaker to the off position. In the case
where the 2n power feature is installed, you must place two AC breakers to the off position to remove
power.

Note:
Personal removing power from the library should be aware of any accessory racks installed in the library. Components in the accessory racks will also lose power when the two main breakers are set to off.
