Power Down Initiation screen Using tape cartridges This section describes how to remove magazines, insert cartridges into a magazine, use the mail slot, and use bar codes. Removing magazines A magazine must be removed from the library in order to replace tape cartridges. Before you remove a magazine, make sure the slot you want to use is not already reserved for a tape cartridge that is in a tape drive. The safest way to do this is to unload all tape drives before removing a magazine. You can unload all the tape drives either through your host system software or by using the Move Media option on the library default screen. You must manually remove the library magazines. To access the magazines, use the Magazine Access Option Default screen. This option enables you to open the left or right magazine doors separately or both magazine doors at the same time. After opening the appropriate magazine door, pull the magazine out and away from the library chassis as shown in Figure 50 on page 41. 40 4560SLX Tape Library: User's Guide
