sequential mode will start from the home position of that cartridge, unless the host issues a rewind
|
and unload command to the drive, in which case the next cartridge in sequence will be loaded into
|
| the drive.
To start sequential mode if autoload is OFF, select the Move Cartridges command to load the first
|
cartridge into the drive. The sequence starts from the home position of that cartridge. Cartridges need
|
| not to be in contiguous slots.
To stop sequential mode, select the Move Cartridges command to unload the drive. This mode cancels
|
sequential mode; the next sequential cartridge is NOT loaded.
|
To restart sequential mode, select the Move Cartridges command again to load a cartridge; the loading
|
| sequence resumes from the home position of that cartridge.
v Number of active slots - Select the number of active slots you would like to assign in your library.
|
Selecting the number of active slots defines the number of storage slots, number of cleaning/inactive
|
| slots, whether the I/O station is enabled/disabled, and whether auto cleaning is allowed.
The first digit configures the number of active storage positions (4, 6, 8, or 9). The second digit
|
configures Column 5, Tier 1 of the magazine as an I/O Station (0 when disabled, and 1 when enabled).
|
The Auto Cleaning function can be enabled only if there is at least one inactive position in the
|
| magazine. If auto cleaning is enabled, the inactive positions become cleaning cartridge positions.
Click Submit to transfer the settings to the library. A dialog message is displayed when the settings are
|
| updated successfully.
