Enter Cartridges Through the CAP

The Base Module CAP contains a standard four- or five-cell magazine. See

FIGURE 3-1

.

The expansion module CAP has two magazines.

Use this procedure to enter a cartridge into the library through a CAP.

Note –

Before using this procedure, verify that the library CAP Prevent/Allow state is

set to Allow. See your SCSI reference manual for syntax.

The robot opens the CAP door and the CAP Open LED is turned on.

2. Grip the handle of the magazine and slide it out of the CAP and onto the door.

Note –

Do not remove the magazine from the door. Leaving the magazine on the door

rails will allow the magazine to slide easier into the CAP.

3. Place the cartridge into one of the magazine cells, making sure that the VOLID label

is visible and the hub of the cartridge is down.

4. Grip the handle and slide the magazine back into the CAP.

5. Close the CAP door making sure that the door is securely latched.
