Locate and Remove Cartridge
To locate a particular cartridge inside the tape library:
1. Open the door.
2. Locate the particular cartridge by its VOLID (volume ID) label and slot.
3. Remove the cartridge from the slot by sliding the cartridge out.
4. Close the tape library door.
Insert Cartridges Into Slots
Depending on the version and configuration of your tape library, some storage slots
cannot be used.
1. Check the cartridges to make sure they are correctly labeled.
2. Insert as many cartridges into the tape library as you want and as your
configuration allows, making sure you seat them all the way into the storage slots.

Note. You do not have to insert a cartridge into every storage slot. The tape library
automatically audits cartridges and empty slots as part of its initialization routine.
Caution. Inserting the cartridges correctly is critical for library operation. If you do not orient
the cartridges correctly or do not insert them all the way into the storage slots, the tape library
might fail. Make sure you insert the cartridges into the magazine.
