5 Manually close the load port door by pushing the load port assembly
so that it is flush with the front surface of the library. You will hear a
“click” when it locks into position.
If Auto Load is enabled, the library automatically moves the
cartridges to available bins.
Inserting LTO Tape
Cartridges 2
The two load port magazines used when LTO tape drives are present in
the library are stationary and built into the load port. They accommodate
up to 8 LTO or DLT tape cartridges. The magazines employ no loading
mechanism (unlike the DLT removable magazines) .
To insert an LTO cartridge:
1 Simply place the LTO tape cartridge into the bins with the barcodes
facing out and the write-protect switch on the left (see figure 32
).
Warning: Take care to keep fingers out of load port openings
when opening or closing the load port door or when
rotating the load port drum.
