The
Import/Export
option controls whether the host recognizes the
slots of the top left magazine as import/export elements or as
storage elements:
• Import/export elements are used to move cartridges in and out
of the library under host control. Because these elements are
used exclusively for importing and exporting cartridges, they
are left empty during normal library operation, reducing the
storage capacity of the library.
• Storage elements are used to store data cartridges. Using
storage elements to import and export cartridges can be risky
since these operations are not controlled by the host.
Table 5 describes each of the possible settings for the
Import/Export
option.
Caution:
If you do not return to the main screen after
changing this setting, your change will not be
saved to NVRAM.
