4U library I/O station
The I/O station in a 4U library (see Figure 61 on page 78) is part of the lower left magazine. To open the
I/O station, select Control > Open I/O Station. The I/O station slot opens, and the "Unlocking I/O
station" message displays. Wait for the "Insert/remove cartridge and close I/O station" message to insert
or remove the cartridge, then close the I/O station by gently pushing the slot back into the left magazine.
Note: It is recommended to wait for the messages before you insert or remove cartridges to ensure that
the library is ready to handle the cartridges.
