Operator Action
Loading and Unloading Definition
In order to clarify the load and unload sequences, the following definitions are used.
Unloaded: A cartridge is unloaded when it is moved from the drive back to the magazine.
In this state the drive is offline; the host can not perform any operation which would
cause tape motion, that is, write, read, and space commands.
Semi-loaded: A cartridge is semi-loaded when the cartridge is in the drive mechanism
but the tape is not threaded around the head. The drive is offline in this state. The host
may issue the LOAD command to take the drive online. It can also execute any
diagnostic command that does not access the tape.
Loaded: The tape is loaded at the end of the load sequence. The drive is then online; all
commands can be executed, including those which set configurations or run diagnostic
tests.
Magazine
The autoloader has 8 slots. We recommend that all 8 cartridges are inserted in the
magazine, but the autoloader can operate even if the magazine is not full. The following
cartridge numbers(1, 7, 8) are effective for operation. If you place incorrect numbers of
cartridges into the magazine(not 1, 7, 8 cartridges), the autoloader automatically ejects
the magazine.
Eight Cartridges Setting
It is recommended that 8 data cartridges are placed in the magazine. Slot "1" through "8"
are reserved for data cartridges, see Figure 3-3.
Depending on application software, slot "8" can also be used for a cleaning cartridge.
Slots "1" through "7" are accessed sequentially, while slot "8" can be accessed directly.
Figure 3-3. Eight Cartridge Setting Position
One Cartridge Setting
The cartridge should be placed to slot "8".
Upon insertion of the magazine, the autoloader will perform a scanning check for tapes.
If the autoloader detects an empty slot in the magazine, other than slot "8", the
autoloader will enter Single Tape mode. The autoloader always function regardless of
slot "8" being empty or full. The magazine will be ejected if slot "8" is empty and there is
also an empty slot between slot "1" though "7", see Figure 3-4.
