Loading and Unloading Cartridges
The Load/Unload menus enable you to specify a source and a destination for a cartridge
movement. As a result, you use exactly the same procedure to load as to unload. To load or
unload a tape from the front panel of the module, use the Load/Unload menus as follows.
Figure 3–25 Default Screen
The drive in the Loader has a tape loaded. When this screen indicates SDLT Idle, it

magazine has a cartridge present, while the remaining slots are empty.
