Labeling and loading tape cartridges

The library can power on without cartridges, but needs cartridges before it can complete data read and
write operations, or any tests or operations that transfer cartridges.
Bar code labels are highly recommended in production environments to improve inventory time in the
library and ease cartridge-handling processes outside the library. See "Labeling tape cartridges" on page
160.
The I/O station
If the I/O station is enabled, you can use it to load cartridges into the library. Press the magazine button
for less than 3 seconds and after the button LED is flashing fast, pull out the I/O station.
