I/O Port
The operator gains access to the media by unlocking the I/O Port through the Control
Panel and then manually extending the I/O Port. When closed, the I/O Port is locked
electronically. Once extended, four cartridges may be removed or inserted. The library
status may be configured to be "not ready" when the I/O Port is extended. Under this
configuration, while the door is open, the RLS can respond to a host interface
command with a busy status, a not ready status or it can accept the command and
wait for door closure to complete the command.
