2.8 Inserting and Removing the Magazine
The 10-cartridge tape magazine must be removed from the module in order to
insert or remove cartridges.
To insert or remove the magazine, the Magazine Security Lock must be
unlocked, using the key supplied with the module. Refer to Figure 2-14. When
the Magazine Security Lock is locked, the
Unlock/Open
button has no effect. If
inadvertent removal of the magazine is not likely, you may elect to leave the
Magazine Security Lock in the unlocked position.
The host computer can enable or disable the
Unlock/Open
button using the SCSI
Prevent Allow Medium Removal command. When you press the
Unlock/Open
button, the message ‘Locked by Host” will be displayed.
NOTE
When you enter the Menu Mode, the
Ready
light
goes out. The magazine cannot be inserted or
removed unless the
Ready
light is on. To remove
the magazine when a failure prevents the Ready
light from illuminating, see the paragraph headed
‘Emergency Magazine Removal’ later in this
chapter.
2.8.1 Removing the Magazine
Whenever a magazine is in place inside the module it is locked in place to
prevent tampering or accidental removal. To remove the magazine, the Default
Screen must be displayed. Press the
Unlock/Open
button. The lock will release
the magazine, permitting it to be pulled out. When the magazine has been
removed from the module, the door closes and locks.
NOTE
If there is a cartridge in a drive, the LED on the
Unlock/Lock
button blinks and the control panel
requests confirmation.
