Using the Data Cartridge Magazine

Once you have finished installing data cartridges in the DCM, insert the full magazine

in the library. Align the DCM holes with the library's posts and press firmly to latch the

retaining clips on each side of the DCM. Remove the magazine by firmly grasping near

the top of the magazine with one hand and pulling it straight out through the door.

Storing Cartridges Outside the Library

Follow these guidelines to store data cartridges outside the library with the DCM:

• Attach the clear plastic lid to the front of the DCM to shield the data cartridges from

dust and other debris while in storage.

• Follow the tape storage suggestions described in Caring for Data Cartridges on

page 56.

• Before inserting cartridges in the library, store the cartridges for 24 hours in the

same room as the library; this prevents problems such as tape seizure caused by

cold or cool tapes.
