HP StoreEver 1/8 G2 Tape Autoloader User and Service Guide (AK377-96024, December 2012)

Magazines
The device has removable magazines. Magazine access is password protected. For safety reasons,
the robotic motion is stopped when a magazine is removed.
The magazines can be released using the operator control panel (OCP), the remote management
interface (RMI), or by a manual release. HP recommends that you release the magazine using the
OCP or RMI. The magazine must only be removed manually when the OCP or RMI process has
failed, or the device no longer has power.
IMPORTANT: To manually release a magazine, see “Releasing the magazines
manually” (page 102). However, this manual process should only be used if the magazine cannot
be released using the operator control panel or the remote management interface.
The slot numbering scheme is shown in Figure 23 (page 34) for the left magazine, and
Figure 24 (page 34) for the right magazine.
Figure 23 Left magazine—slot numbering with mailslot enabled
Figure 24 Right magazine—slot numbering with mailslot enabled
When the mailslot is disabled, the mailslot (M1) becomes Slot 1 and all other slots are re-numbered
accordingly.
