Mailslot
Enabling the mailslot in the left magazine allows you to insert and
remove tapes without removing the magazine and without the need for
the administrative password. You can open the mailslot from the front
panel or with host software that supports this function. The mailslot
cannot be opened with the RMI.
When the mailslot is enabled, the mailslot uses the front three slots of
the lower left magazine and the storage slots are renumbered.
TIP:
To see the slot numbering for your Library in its current configuration,
see the RMI Status > Inventory screen.
Magazine release
When possible, release the magazines from the OCP or RMI. If you
must remove the magazines when the Library is not powered on, 1)
insert a straightened paperclip or small pin about 1.5 cm (0.6 inch) into
the magazine release hole on the back panel, while 2) another person
removes the magazines from that side.
IMPORTANT:
Do not force the pin once you encounter resistance. Doing so can
damage the Library.
