U Library Left Magazine - IBM TS3100 Setup, Operator, And Service Manual

The magazines are released with the Operator Control Panel or the Web User Interface. In case the
Operator Control Panel or Web User Interface initiated process failed or the library no longer has power,
a manual emergency release is available.
Important: To manually release a magazine, see "Releasing the magazines manually" on page 215. This
manual process is used only if the magazine cannot be released with the Operator Control Panel or the
Web User Interface.
2U library cartridge magazines
The 2U library has two cartridge magazines. The left cartridge magazine (see Figure 56) has 11 storage
slots and houses the elective 1-slot I/O station. The right magazine (see Figure 57 on page 76) has 12
storage slots. For information about Element Addressing, see "2U library I/O slot, storage slots, drive slot
element addresses, and physical locations" on page 285.
Note: On some 2U Libraries before library microcode level 1.9, slot 11 might be labeled a "Not used" slot
that contained a "Slot blocker". With library microcode level 1.9 or higher, there is an option to remove
the "Slot blocker" and place that slot into use. See "Removing the slot blocker - 2U library" on page 229.
