16 Operating the Autoloader
Figure 5 Write-Protect Switch on a Super DLTtape II Cartridge
Importing Cartridges
This option commands the autoloader to import a cartridge into a specific empty slot on the carousel.
1 Make sure the write-protect switch is set as desired for each data cartridge (see Write-Protecting
Cartridges on page 15).
2 Press + or – until Go offline appears. Press ENTER.
3 Press + or – until Commands appears.
4 Press ENTER to access the available options.
5 Press + or – until Import appears. Press ENTER.
6 Press + or – until the desired slot number appears, and press ENTER.
You are not given the option to import a cartridge to an occupied slot.
7 When Insert Cartridge appears and the mail slot opens, insert the desired data cartridge into the mail
slot so that the write-protect switch is facing out from the autoloader.
8 Repeat Step 6
and Step 7 as needed for any additional cartridges, and then press CANCEL when you
are done importing cartridges.
9 Verify that the operator panel shows that the desired slots have cartridges installed.
CAUTION:
Performing an import or export of media during a data backup may
result in adverse results, which could include backup failure or other
errors.
NOTE:
If you are using the operator panel to clean the drive, import the cleaning
cartridge only when the operator panel requests it. You may keep a
cleaning cartridge in the autoloader if the backup software can manage the
drive cleaning.
