Placing Tape
Cartridges in the Load
and Bulk Packs
2
To place cartridges in the load and bulk packs:
Note: This procedure assumes that you have already removed the
load and bulk packs. If not, remove the load and bulk packs,
referring to steps 2a through 2c on page 33.
Procedure
1
Load eight cartridges into each pack.
As you slide each cartridge into a bin, there should be initial
resistance from the retention mechanism before the cartridge snaps
into place. If a cartridge does not snap into place, check for correct
orientation and structural integrity.
2
Verify that each cartridge is properly oriented and seated in the bin
(see figure 25 on page 33 for proper cartridge orientation).
Caution:
Handle the load and bulk packs with care. The
retention mechanism that secures the cartridges may be
compromised by rough handling, causing the cartridges
to fall out.
3
Reinstall the load and bulk packs:
a
Insert a pack into the library, cartridge-side first.
b
Line up the pack with the plastic guides on the top and bottom
of the library frame.
c
Slide the pack onto the guides until it snaps into place.
d
Repeat steps 3a through 3c for the other pack.
4
Close and lock the library doors.
