When working with your library, you will often need information about your library such as how many slots
are filled or what firmware levels are currently running. Most of this information is available though the
Library and About menus.
Viewing Library Information
Most of the library information is obtained through the Library menu. From the Library menu, you can
check overall library information, information on a specific slot, and information on a specific tape cartridge.
However, you can also get information through the About menu, such as the serial number and the
firmware levels.
Getting Library Statistics
Use System to get statistical information about your library, such as how many slots are full and how many
lifetime moves have occured.
A complete list of the information available through this command is shown in
