TIP:

The library inventory process is faster when bar code labels are used on all your tape cartridges,

and the library is configured to only use bar code labels.

Front door interlock

The library front door cannot be opened until a password-protected command to unlock the door is made

through the OCP. This command parks the robot, and actuates a lever that allows the door to be opened.

Even if the unit is powered off, the robot must be parked before the door is opened. If the robot is not

parked prior to removing power, then the door cannot be readily opened.

Tape cartridges are inserted into 5-cartridge magazines, which are placed into either the 5-cartridge

load port or a 10-cartridge load port. To use a load port:

Prepare the tape cartridges to be inserted by affixing a bar code label and write-protecting or

write-enabling each cartridge as desired.

Select Operations > Unlock Load Ports on the OCP. All load port doors open.

Pull the magazine from the load port along its track and remove the magazine from the library.

Insert the cartridge into any available magazine slot with the write-protect switch positioned to the left.

CAUTION:

Excessive force when inserting a magazine can cause a cartridge to unseat and extend into

the path of the robot.

Align the magazine with the track on the load port door and gently slide the magazine through the

spring door and fully into the load port (see

After all load port doors are closed, the library inventories the load ports.
