2. To enable the Mail Slot, place a check mark in the I/O Station Enabled box.
If it is checked as enabled, the first three physical slots in the lower left magazine in
a 4U library are configured as Mail Slots. For the 2U library, the first physical slot in
the left magazine is configured as a Mail Slot. If the I/O Station Enabled box is not
checked, the magazine slots are configured as normal tape storage.

Reserving Slots

Reserving a slot is accomplished by reducing the Active Slot count in any particular logical
library. Slots are reserved beginning with the last available slot in the last magazine of the
library. A cleaning cartridge in a reserved slot is available to any logical library drive even
if the reserved slot is not in that logical library. Typically, if the library contains multiple
logical libraries, the last logical library is chosen for the reserved slot containing the
cleaning cartridge. As with a library with a single logical library, this slot is the last
physical slot in the library (top right magazine, uppermost rear slot).
NOTE: Configure the required number of reserved slots prior to enabling Auto Clean.
To reserve slots in your library, go to the
the Operator Control Panel or the
User Interface to get directions on reducing the Active slot count.
