16 Loading tape cartridges

You can use the mailslot to import and export tape cartridges. To load
or unload more tape cartridges at a time, you can remove the
magazines and load the cartridges into them. Use the front panel
Operations > Unlock Left Magazines option to release the left
magazines. If requested, provide the administrator password to access
the magazines. Pull both magazines straight out of the front of the
Library.
The lower left magazine, which is designated by a white dot on the
lower right corner, has a three-slot mailslot in the front of the magazine.
Leave the three slots in the front of the magazine empty if you plan to
enable the mailslot.
Insert the tape cartridges into the magazines.
Replace the magazines in the Library.
Repeat for the right magazines.

17 Verifying the installation

Verify that the Library has the most up-to-date firmware revision and
upgrade the firmware if necessary. You can upgrade firmware from the
OCP using a USB flash drive or through the RMI.
To see the firmware revision of the Library on the front panel:
1. Use the control keys to navigate to Info > Identity > Library.
2. The Library Controller FW Revision field shows the Library
firmware revision.
To find the current firmware revision, visit the http://sunsolve.sun.com
