Cleaning cell
The cartridge for drive head cleaning is stored here. The auto-cleaning function of
the library and the manual cleaning function on the operator panel use a cleaning
cartridge in this cell.
Replacement cell
This type of cell is used for temporarily storing a cartridge when a cartridge
replacement request (Exchange Medium command) is made from the host.
Reserve cell
This type of cell is used for setting aside a cartridge when it cannot be stored in a cell
in response to a cartridge mount request (Move Medium command) from the host.
Open the front door to remove the cartridge set aside in the reserve cell.
When a cartridge is set aside in the reserve cell, the "Exist In Reserve Cell" icon in
the icon area of the operator panel lights.
Diagnostic cell
This type of cell stores a special cartridge for diagnostics.
Never take out any special cartridge contained in the diagnostic cell
because it is used by the maintenance personnel.
