Inserting and Removing Cartridges
Inserting and Removing Cartridges
Remove the tape magazine from the module to insert or remove cartridges. When
inserting cartridges, be sure that the slot intended for use is not already reserved in the
system map for a cartridge in a drive. To avoid conflicts, unload the drive, either through
the host computer software or by using the Load/Unload command on the Main menu.
To insert or remove the magazine:
•
The Control Panel must be unlocked; otherwise, it is impossible to enter the Menu
mode. The screen shown in
Figure 3-9 appears.
•
The host computer must allow removal of the magazine. The host software can
enable or disable the 5258ACL door unlock function by using the SCSI
Prevent/Allow Medium Removal command. If the host is preventing removal when
Unlock Door is selected on the Main menu and Enter is pressed, the message
“Magazine Locked.” To release the lock, exit the host software. If host computer
failure prevents the host from releasing the lock, power up the 5258ACL drive.
