Setting Up a Reserved Slot
Use this option to designate one or more tape cartridge data storage slots as a cleaning
slot.
IMPORTANT:
Reserved slots may be incompatible with some application software.
Reserved Slot Numbering
Standard tape cartridge slots are numbered from the front of the magazine to the rear
(see Figure 3–5 and Figure 3–7). If you reserve one slot, it becomes Reserved Slot #1
in the last slot of the last magazine. Additional reserved slots continue in this
rear-to-front pattern.
