• Number of active slots — Select the number of active slots and the I/O Station
configuration you would like to assign in your library. The first digit configures the
number of active storage positions (4, 6, 8, or 9). The second digit configures
Column 5, Tier 1 of the magazine as an I/O Station (0 when disabled, and 1 when
enabled). The Auto Cleaning function can be enabled only if there is at least 1
inactive position in the magazine. If Auto Cleaning is enabled, the inactive
positions become cleaning cartridge positions.
