Inserting and Removing Cartridges
Before inserting or removing cartridges, remove the tape magazine from the PowerLoader™.
Make sure the slot you want to use is not already reserved for a cartridge in a drive. Unload all
drives, either through your host computer software or by using the Load/Unload command on
the Main Menu, described earlier in this chapter.
Make sure the Control Panel is unlocked. When the Control Panel is locked, it is impossible to
enter the Menu Mode. The host computer must allow removal of the magazine. The host
software can enable or disable the door unlock function using the SCSI Prevent/Allow Medium
Removal command. If the host is preventing removal, when you select Unlock Door on the Main
Menu and press the Enter button, the message
Magazine Locked is displayed.
The host software should be able to release the magazine without shutting down. If host
computer failure prevents the host from releasing the lock, cycle power to the unit.
If you still cannot open the magazine door, call Overland Technical Support for
assistance.
Removing the Magazine
Whenever a magazine is in place inside the module 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.
If a fault occurs that prevents removing the magazine, contact Overland Technical
Support for assistance.
