Inserting tape cartridges
Load tape cartridges into the library starting with the left side panels, then the right side panels, and finally
the back panel (see Library storage locations and slot numbering for detailed installation procedures). Be
sure all cartridges are properly positioned with the barcode facing you and fully seated in the bins.
CAUTION:
Handle tape cartridges with care. Do not drop or bang them, or place them near sources of
electromagnetic interference. Rough handling can displace the tape leader, making the cartridge
unusable and potentially hazardous to the tape drives.
Closing the cabinet doors and access panels
The library has two front doors and one back door.
1. Close and lock the front door using the key provided in the accessory kit (see Figure 27 ).
