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.
