Loading and Unloading Cartridges

The Load/Unload menus enable you to specify a source and a destination for a cartridge
movement. As a result, you use exactly the same procedure to load as to unload. To load or
unload a tape from the front panel of the module, use the Load/Unload menus as follows.
The PowerLoader has a tape loaded. When this screen indicates SDLT Idle, it represents that
