Dell PowerVault TL1000 - Manual (Page 74)

Moving cartridges
Select Commands > Move Cartridge to move data cartridges and cleaning
cartridges between the I/O station, storage positions, and tape drive.
Specify the following parameters:
v Source Slot - Specify a source that contains a cartridge.
v Destination Slot - Specify the destination.
Press the Enter key to move the cartridge from the source to the destination.
Note: Cartridges cannot be moved to the accessor with this command, but can be
moved from the accessor if, for example, the library was powered OFF with
a tape still held in the Picker.
Unloading the drive
Select Commands > Unload to unload the cartridge from the tape head
mechanism.
Unload when library is in Random mode: The cartridge in the drive is unloaded
from the tape head mechanism, but is still retained inside the tape drive housing.
The Move Cartridge command moves the cartridge from the drive to another
location. Moving a tape cartridge from a drive to another location both unloads
and moves the cartridge in a single action.
Unload when library is in Sequential mode: The cartridge in the drive is unloaded
from the tape head mechanism, and returned to the cartridge home position.
Press the Enter key to unload the cartridge from the tape head mechanism.
Cleaning the drive manually
Select Commands > Clean Drive to clean the tape drive manually with a cleaning
cartridge in either a cartridge storage position or the I/O station.
