Getting Started Guide

After a power cycle
For increased security, the key server token's PIN is
stored in volatile memory in the autoloader or library.
Each time the autoloader or library is powered on,
the PIN must be entered. The autoloader or library
will display a warning message on the OCP and RMI,
and send periodic SNMP and email events, if those
options are enabled, until the PIN is entered. The
autoloader or library will not read or write encrypted
data until the PIN is entered.
CAUTION: If it is critical that the autoloader
or library maintain encryption capability in the
event of a power loss, HP recommends that you
plug the autoloader or library's power cable
into an uninterruptable power supply (UPS).
