Conducting a library inventory
Select Manage Library > Inventory to force the library to run an inventory of the cartridge magazine,
accessor, and tape drive to refresh the library map. Conduct an inventory by clicking the Start button.
The Inventory Progress bar indicates the process in action. Wait until the operation finishes before normal
library operations resume.
An inventory is conducted automatically when the power is first turned ON or when a cartridge
magazine is inserted.
Unlocking the cartridge magazine
Select Manage Library > Unlock Magazine to unlock and remove the cartridge magazine. When the
cartridge magazine is unlocked, it can be removed from the library to insert or remove data and cleaning
cartridges. When the cartridge magazine is fully inserted, the magazine locks into place. After the
magazine is closed, wait for the library to complete its inventory before normal library operations
resume.
Note: A blue release gate in the upper left corner of each column in the cartridge magazine prevents each
cartridge from falling out of the front of the magazine. When manually releasing the gate with one hand,
position your other hand in front of the column opening to protect cartridges that are ejected by the
internal column spring.
Note: If the cartridge magazine is not removed within 5 minutes, it is automatically locked.
