I/E station slots are used to import and export tape cartridges into and
out of the library without disrupting normal library operations.
I/E station slots can be configured as either I/E station slots or storage
slots. I/E station slots are used to import and export cartridges and are
shared by all partitions. Storage slots are used to store data cartridges
and cleaning cartridges and are assigned to a single partition.
An I/E station that has been configured for storage may contain
cleaning slots. These cleaning slots must be deleted before you can
reconfigure the storage slots as I/E station slots. You can view the Library
Configuration Report to determine how I/E slots are configured. For
more information, see
page 220. For instructions on deleting cleaning slots, see
Cleaning Slots on page 59.
You cannot configure I/E station slots if cartridges are currently loaded
in the I/E station(s). Remove all cartridges from the I/E station(s) before
attempting the following procedure.
Each I/E station is configured as a complete unit. When configuring an 
I/E station, all the slots in the I/E station are configured the same way.
The Scalar i40 and Scalar i80 are configured with 5 I/E station slots by
default.
On the Scalar i40, you can configure 0, 5, or 20 I/E station slots.
