remains locked until the media has been successfully moved to its
destination. This allows the media to be returned to the I/E station
slot in the event of a put error.
• A user has requested that the I/E station door be locked.
• If the I/E station slots are configured as storage slots, the door is
always locked. When all I/E station slots are configured as storage
slots, you can use the Locking and Unlocking I/E station operation to
unlock the I/E station in the 5U Library Control Module. When the
I/E station is unlocked, you can open the main access door on the 5U
Library Control Module. This, in turn, unlocks all remaining I/E
stations in the library, allowing you to access all remaining access
doors in the library.
The paths to open the appropriate screens are as follows:
• From the Web client, select
Operations > I/E Station
.
• From the operator panel, select
Operations > Lock/Unlock I/E Station
.
Manually Unlocking the
I/E Station Door
9
While the recommended procedure is to unlock the I/E station door
using the
Operations > I/E Station Lock/Unlock
command, you can, if
necessary, unlock the I/E station door manually.
The process for manually unlocking the I/E station door includes the
following steps:
1
Standing in front of the library, look for the small (0.25 inches in
diameter) access hole on the front of the I/E station door.
2
Insert a pencil-shaped object into the access hole and press inward.
If an I/E station is configured as storage, the station door will lock
automatically when you close it, assuming that the library is powered on.
If you unlocked the door while the library was powered off, the door will
lock automatically during power up.
