Removing Cartridges from Magazine Slots
In the event of a severe mechanical problem with the library or if circumstances
require you to remove tape cartridges, do the following. If the Operator Control
Panel or the Web User Interface is still operational:
1. Move the tapes from the drive(s) to the magazines using the Move Media
command. See “Manage Library: Move Media” on page 5-42.
Note: Contact technical support if a cartridge will not eject from the drive.
2.
Use the magazine removal process to release the magazine and remove it from
the library. To use the Operator Control Panel, see “Control: Magazine” on page
5-17. To use the Web User Interface, see “Manage Library: Release Magazine”
on page 5-43. If neither one of these processes works, see “Releasing the
Magazines Manually.”
