Removing the Magazine from the Unit
The following illustration shows the correct way to remove the magazine from its bay.
Note
You cannot remove the magazine if the unit is password protected or locked by
host software through a Prevent Medium Removal SCSI command.
When ejecting the magazine it automatically pops out a few inches. With one hand, grip the handle on
the outer side of the magazine bezel and hold the other hand under the magazine. See
Figure 32
.
Pull out the magazine carefully, keeping it horizontally level with the library. If the magazine is filled
with cartridges, be prepared for the weight of the magazine. Keep one hand underneath the magazine
to prevent the back of the magazine falling down when it leaves the magazine bay.
