Chapter 1: Description
Library Components

Magazines

4
tape cartridges and empty slots to identify the types of tape cartridges
that are installed in the library.
Tape cartridges cannot have duplicate barcode labels. This barcode
identifies the cartridge. The library stores the physical location of the
tape cartridge in an inventory database. All library or host requests
typically reference the location of the tape cartridges based on this
barcode number. Barcode labels are mandatory and must adhere to
specific standards. For more information on barcodes, see
Working With Cartridges and
Robots can only be replaced by a Quantum Support technician.
Magazines are removable and contain storage and import/export
station slots for cartridges. Each magazine has 20 slots, arranged in four
columns of five slots each. The Scalar i40 contains two magazines; the
Scalar i80 contains four. The right magazines provide up to five slots
each for use as an import/export (I/E) station. For more information on 
I/E stations, see Configuring I/E Station Slots
Note: Cartridges are gently restrained within the magazine by a
detent found on the left side of each individual magazine bin
slot. To manually remove a cartridge, pull a cartridge from the
front or push on the cartridge from the rear of the magazine
via an "access hole." Be gentle to avoid any bending of the top
magazine cover sheet metal.
The library will run if one or more magazines is open or removed;
however, it runs at reduced speed. The library will not move a cartridge
to an open or removed magazine, but it will move a cartridge to any of
the other installed magazines.
You can open the magazines using library software or manually. For
information, see Releasing Magazines
For information on removing and replacing magazines, see
