2-28 Compaq StorageWorks TL881/TL891 Family MiniLibrary System Reference Guide When you press the Enter button, the following screen appears. If the source is a drive, the word Unload appears in place of the word Load on line 4. From: Slot4 To:DLT0 Load In Progress When the load or unload operation is finished, the Default screen reappears. Inserting and Removing Cartridges When inserting cartridges, make sure that the slot you intend to use is not already reserved in the system map for a cartridge in a drive. The best way to avoid conflicts is to unload all drives, either through your host computer software or by using the LOAD/UNLOAD command on the Main menu, described in the previous section. The tape magazine must be removed from the module in order to insert or remove cartridges. To insert or remove the magazine, the following conditions must be met: I The Magazine security lock must be unlocked, using the key supplied with the module (Figure 2-8 and Table 2-8). When the Magazine security lock is locked, the Unlock/Open button has no effect. If the module is installed in a reasonably secure environment, you can elect to leave the magazine security lock in the unlocked position. I Media locking on the Security menu must be disabled. I The host computer must allow medium removal. 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 Magazine Locked appears. The Expansion Unit must be ready, but not executing a command. IMPORTANT: When you enter 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 lighting, see the section "Emergency Magazine Removal."
