a Open the library doors (see “Library Operations” on page 68 to
open the library doors).
b Remove the magazines (see “Library Operations” on page 68 to
release the magazines).
c Load the tape cartridges in the magazines and fixed bins. It is
recommended to start loading tape cartridges in magazine 1, bin
0000 (see “Library Models” on page 2 for magazine and bin
locations).
d Replace the magazines in the library.
e Close the library doors.
Note: In a PX506 and PX510 library, the bottom doors must be
open to open the top doors.
Note: You have approximately 10 seconds to open the doors and
remove the magazines. If you did not complete the
operation, repeat the steps.
Note: In a PX506 and PX510 library, only the bottom magazines
must be released from the OCP. All other magazines can
be removed without being released.
Warning: Do NOT reach into the library to load tape cartridges
into the fixed bins. Use the
Move
page located on the
Operations
tab from the remote management pages
(see chapter 3 on page 85) to move tape cartridges
from the magazines into the fixed bins.
Caution:
Placing the cartridges in the bins upside down can
cause damage to the library (see figure 20 for SDLT
cartridges and figure 21 for LTO cartridges).
