I/O Port
The operator gains access to the media by unlocking the I/O port through either the
control panel or Q-Link 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 port 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 port closure to complete the command.
