Caution:
Examine all cartridges before loading them into the library
or tape drive. Look for label stock or other foreign material
that may be clinging to the cartridges.
Procedure
1
Prepare the tape cartridge to be inserted by labeling it and setting
the write-protect switch as desired (see “Preparing and Inserting
Tape Cartridges” on page 30).
2
Press the Load Port button on the left side of the GUI.
The library unlocks the load port, and the load port door springs
open slightly.
Warning: Mechanical hazards may be exposed when the load port is
partially open or closed. Do not attempt to insert your
hands or fingers into the load port opening at any time.
3
Open the load port door completely.
4
Place the tape cartridge into the load port slot, label-side first (see
figure 25 on page 33 for proper cartridge orientation).
5
Manually close the load port door.
If auto load is enabled, the library automatically moves the
cartridge to an available bin.
6
Repeat steps 1 through 5 to insert other tape cartridges.
Note: To remove tape cartridges using the load port, see “Moving a
Cartridge” on page 64.
