of the cartridges. After initialization, the firmware causes the library to select the
first available cartridge found (counting from the Mail Slots through slot 23) for
loading into the drive.
IMPORTANT: If a Logical Library in Sequential Mode contains more than one
drive, only the first drive in the Logical Library will be utilized.
• Autoload – Sequential mode with autoload mode ON loads the first available
cartridge (slot with the lowest numerical value that contains a cartridge)
automatically if the library powers ON with an empty drive.
• Loop – Sequential mode with loop mode ON loads the cartridge in the lowest
numerical slot after the cartridge in the highest numerical slot has been filled
and sent back to its home slot. This allows endless backup operations without
user interaction.
