Preparing and Inserting Tape
Cartridges
This section explains how to insert tape cartridges into the P1000
library during initial installation. This procedure consists of the
following steps:
labeling tape cartridges
•
•
setting the write-protect switch
placing cartridges in the load and bulk packs
•
placing cartridges in the fixed storage bins
•
Attaching a bar code label to each tape cartridge enables the library to
identify tape cartridges quickly, which speeds the inventory process.
