Using the manual magazine release
1.
From the back of the library determine which magazine needs to be removed using
“Manual
magazine release holes” (page 192)
. The magazines are released from the magazine release
holes on the bottom tape drive plate. For the MSL4048, MSL8048, and MSL8096, the library
will release all magazines on a side at the same time.

Push a small metal pin or paper clip about 1.5 cm (0.6 inch) into the appropriate release
hole to push on the release latch (see

) while another person grasps
the magazine and removes it from the library.

IMPORTANT:
Do not force the pin once you encounter resistance. Doing so can damage
the library.
Installing a redundant power supply (MSL4048, MSL8048, and MSL8096
only)
The MSL4048, MSL8048, and MSL8096 Tape Libraries have an optional redundant power supply
system, which allows the library to continue operating when one power supply fails. With the
redundant power supply system, the library can monitor the status of each power supply and
power supply fan. The redundant power supply can be installed without powering off the library.
