Note: The mixed media load port used with LTO tape cartidges
has two stationary 4-cartridge static magazines built into

the library contains both DLT and LTO tape drives, the
stationary magazines are used in the load port.

the metal tab at the upper right corner of the load port bay. Rotate
the magazine handle from the top of the magazine toward you and
pull the magazine from the loadport. Reverse this procedure to
