A cleaning cartridge will not be used once it has exceeded its maximum count of operations (50 loads) or
when a medium error was detected during operation.
If there is more than one cleaning cartridge available, the one with highest load count will be used. This
causes the cleaning cartridge with the highest load count to wear out first.
3.4 Magazines
Cartridges are stored in magazines. Up to 12 cartridges can be stored in each magazine. Magazines may be
removed and inserted individually.
The ETERNUS LT40 S2/LT60 S2 LTO Library tape library has two removable magazines in the 4U library (see
Figure 3.5 and Figure 3.7 ). Magazine access can be password protected. For safety reasons, the robotic motion
is stopped when a magazine is removed. See section "3.5.6.6 Changing the Administrative Password" (page
62) . The magazines can be released using the Operator Control Panel (OCP) or the Remote Management Unit
(RMU). In case the OCP or RMU initiated process has failed or the library no longer has power a manual
emergency release is available. See section
"4.4 Magazine Does not Unlock via OCP or RMU" (page 77) .
