Place a tape cartridge in each fixed storage bin on the back wall of
the library and on the inside of the front doors. Be sure all
cartridges are properly oriented with the barcode facing you and
that they are fully seated in the bins.
Preparing the Library for Operation
2
To prepare the library for operation:
• Close the library doors and access panels
• Connect the host workstations
Caution:
LTO tape drive media cannot be degaussed due to
the fact that it uses "magnetic servos". Do not attempt
to degauss LTO tape drive media. If this media is
degaussed, it will no longer work.
