The LibraryPro™ is designed with many configuration options, each
offering multiple settings to support a variety of applications and
platforms. The setting of each option is stored in non-volatile memory in
the module. For most applications, you do not have to change the factory
default settings. If you need to change the configuration, go on to the next
section. If you are uncertain whether you need to change a setting, contact
your Technical Support representative.
To change settings, use the Control Panel. For an overview of how the
Control Panel works, and a description of the functions of the buttons,
indicators and display, refer to Entering the Menu Mode, Exiting the Menu
Mode, and Navigating through the Menu Structure found in Chapter 3 of
the PowerLoader User & Installation manual.

You must remove the tape magazine from the module in order to insert or
remove cartridges. When inserting cartridges, be sure that the slot you
intend to use is not already reserved in the system map for a cartridge in a
drive. The best way to avoid conflicts is to unload the drive, either through
your host computer software, or by using the Load/Unload command on the
Main Menu, described later in this chapter.
To insert or remove the magazine, make sure of the following:
The Control Panel is unlocked
The host computer must allow removal of the magazine using the
SCSI Prevent/Allow Medium Removal command. To release the lock,
exit the host software. If host computer failure prevents the host from
releasing the lock, cycle power to the PowerLoader .
If you are still unable to open the magazine door, see "Emergency Magazine
Removal".

tampering or accidental removal. To remove the magazine, enter the Menu
Mode by pressing the Enter button at the Default Screen. At the Main Menu,

Insert cartridges so that the label end with the write protect switch is outward,
with the write protect switch toward the bottom of the magazine. After you
insert the desired cartridges into the magazine, position the magazine so the
cartridges protrude to the left, and the magazine handle is toward you. Insert
the magazine into the PowerLoader with that orientation.
