2.16 Magazines
The Q24 Tape Library makes use of two removable magazines. Tape cartridges are stored in the
magazines. Each magazine may be removed and inserted individually. When inserted in the library
they are locked to prevent unauthorized removal. Access to unlock the magazines can be password
protected. For safety reasons, the media changer motion is stopped whenever a magazine is removed
from the library.
The magazines can be unlocked via the Operator Control Panel (OCP) or the Remote Management Unit
(RMU).

OCP, see Figure 24

RMU, see Section 3.2.8.3, Releasing and replacing Magazines
In case the OCP or RMU initiated process fails or the library no longer has power, a manual emergency
release is available, see
Section 4.4, Emergency release .
2.16.1 Slot usage
Each magazine contains 12 slots for tape cartridge storage. However, the lower front slot in the left
hand magazine is allocated as a “mail slot”.
The mail slot is used to import/export individual tape cartridges without interrupting the library
operation. The command to open the mail slot may be denied if the media changer is busy with some
operation. In that case, “Busy” is displayed on the OCP and the command has to be repeated once the
media changer operation is finished.
