HP StoreEver ESL G3 Tape Libraries User Manual

NOTE:
Make sure that the scratch tapes are formatted and contain no data that cannot be overwritten.
Scratch tapes must have barcode labels with valid volume serial numbers on them. Also, you
might find it useful to write down the serial numbers so that you can identify your scratch tapes.
This procedure will not damage any cartridges that are already installed in the library.
If the scratch cartridge becomes lodged in a drive or magazine, it must be manually removed
from the library. If not removed, the cartridge will become part of the partition the next time the
accessor assembly is enabled.
The I/E station will be locked until the inventory is complete.
