Filling the library with cartridges (bulk loading)

Before your library is operational, place cartridges into the slots of the magazines lining the interior
of your library.

Make certain the barcode side is facing out of the slot.

Make certain that the cartridge is completely seated in the slot. Accessor motion can be
impeded if the cartridge is not completely seated within the slot.

You should not be able to see the name of the media type typically printed on the top of the
cartridge by the manufacturer.

When your library is operational, use the I/E Station to add additional cartridges. Insert the
cartridges in the slots of the I/E Station. Then use Operations

→Import to import the cartridges.

configuration for an already configured library. It is recommended that you consult with your
