Important

If the tape cartridge is holding the

mailslot door open during operation, the
system keeps track of the tape movement

and continues robotic motion. This can

occur if the robot ejects the cartridge out

through the mailslot door.

Inserting a single cartridge

When you want to load a single cartridge into the autoloader, you can use the
mailslot. However, if the Security option is turned on, you have to enter a valid
password to unlock the mailslot before you can load a cartridge (see

“Default

username and password” on page 55

for On-board Remote Management or

“Setting passwords” on page 33

for the front panel). When you insert a cartridge

through the mailslot, you can load it into the tape drive or store it in a magazine
slot.

To insert a cartridge into the tape drive:

1

From the Main menu, scroll to Commands, then press E

NTER

. The

Commands submenu opens.

2

Scroll to Enter, then press E

NTER

. The Enter submenu opens.

3

Scroll to To Drive, then press E

NTER

. The message “Insert Tape, Push Until

Prompted” appears on the LCD.

Important

For the autoloader, push in the cartridge

until it stops. The cartridge should be

about 3 inches (7.5 cm) inside the

mailslot. This may require that you push

and have your fingers well within the

mailslot opening. After insertion, the end

of the cartridge should be visible at the

back of the mailslot opening.

4

Insert the cartridge into the mailslot. After approximately five seconds, the
system automatically verifies that a cartridge is inserted and continues the
process. The message “Tape Loaded” appears when the process is
successfully completed.

5

After you have inserted the cartridge, press E

NTER

.

If the insert cartridge function fails, the cartridge ejects, the message
“Missed Tape” appears, and you must perform

Step 3

and

Step 4

again.
