The library begins to boot up. A library with
only a few drives usually will be fully powered
on and ready for use within 10 minutes.
However, if a library is large with a high number
of drives, it can take more than an hour for the
library to fully power on, complete the discovery
process, and become ready for use. During
the power on process, the Robotics Enabled
indicator flashes. When the library is fully
powered on and ready to receive commands,
the Robotics Enabled indicator turns solid
green.
