Inserting & Removing Cartridges
You must remove the tape magazine from the module in order to insert or remove
cartridges. When inserting cartridges, be sure that the slot you intend to use is not
reserved in the system map for a cartridge in a drive. The best way to avoid conflicts is to
unload the drive, either through your host computer, or by using the Load/Unload
command on the Main Menu.
To insert or remove the magazine, make sure of the following:
•
The Control Panel is unlocked
•
The host computer must allow removal of the magazine using the SCSI
Prevent/Allow Medium Removal command. To release the lock, exit the host
software. If host computer failure prevents the host from releasing the lock, cycle
power to the LoaderXpress.
If you are still unable to open the magazine door, see “Emergency Magazine Removal”.
Removing the Magazine
Whenever the magazine door is closed it is locked in place to prevent tampering or
accidental removal. To remove the magazine, enter the Menu Mode by pressing the Enter
button at the Default Screen. At the Main Menu, select Remove Magazine and press the
Enter button. The magazine door swings open
