NOTE During normal operation, changes to configurations are stored in Non-
Volatile (NV) RAM for eight days. All configuration settings can be
permanently saved to flash memory by power cycling the library. This
allows the settings to be recovered if the library is unplugged for more
than eight days. If this step is not completed and the library is unplugged
for more than eight days, any new settings may be lost. Before shipping
the library, verify that the configuration settings were saved permanently
by first powering down the library, and then powering back up to store the
settings and to view them.
To move or ship the library:
1. Verify that all drives are empty.
2. If a drive contains a tape, unload it. Refer to the backup software
documentation, or use the front panel menu as follows:
a. From the Drive and Tape Operations menu, select Unload Tape from
Drive .
b. Use the [-] or [+] keys to select the drive you want to unload.
c. Select [Unload] to move the tape from the drive to the tape’s
original location (the slot it occupied before being loaded into the
drive). If that slot is occupied, you will be asked to select another
slot location.
The tape automatically rewinds before it is unloaded. A status
screen displays the library’s progress as the tape is relocated.
d. From the Drive and Tape Operations menu, select [Back] to return to
the Operations menu.
3. If shipping the library, remove tape cartridges from the magazines:
a. From the Magazine Access menu, select one of the following
options:
— Unlock Door
— Unlock All Doors
Use the [-] or [+] key to change the door selection.
