• Automatic — the device will switch from Sequential to Random mode if it receives media
changer SCSI commands.
• Manual — the device will stay in the current mode until another mode is configured by a user.
• Random — the device will not automatically load and unload tapes. Instead, it will wait for
commands from the backup software or the OCP to load and unload tapes.
• Sequential — the device will automatically unload the tape in the drive when the host software
sends an unload command to the drive and then automatically load the tape from the next
highest sequentially numbered full slot.
• Loop — in Loop mode, the Autoloader will load the tape from the lowest numbered full slot
after the tape from the highest numbered full slot is unloaded. If Loop is not listed, the Autoloader
will stop automatically loading and unloading tapes after the tape from the last full slot is un-
loaded.
