Chapter 3: Setting Up the Autoloader
The Export command lets you specify which cartridge you want to remove.
When you use the Export command, the cartridge carousel moves the specified
cartridge slot into position in front of the cartridge access port and slides the
door open. The cartridge loader then pushes the cartridge far enough out to
let you remove it.
Loading and unloading a cartridge
The Load Cartridge command in the Commands menu lets you specify which
cartridge you want to load into the tape drive. When you use the Load Cartridge
command, the cartridge carousel moves the specified cartridge slot into position
in front of the tape drive. The cartridge loader then extracts the cartridge from
the cartridge slot and inserts it into the tape drive.
The Unload Cartridge command makes the tape drive unload the cartridge from
the tape drive and eject the cartridge. After the cartridge is ejected, the cartridge
carousel moves the slot that the cartridge originated in into position in front
of the tape drive. The cartridge loader then extracts the cartridge from the tape
drive and returns it to the cartridge slot.
Updating the cartridge inventory
After you import or export a data cartridge, you can update the cartridge
inventory using the Re-inventory Option command in the Commands menu. The
autoloader checks for the presence of a cartridge in each cartridge slot.
