Removing Tape Cartridges from the Library
The tape library is designed to hold from one to three 5-slot magazines. Follow these
steps to remove magazines from the library:
NOTE Some software packages require that tape cartridges be inserted and removed using
the software. If a software package manages files in the library, check the software
documentation before proceeding.
NOTE All drives must be empty before the access door can be released. In addition, some
security configurations may prevent the access door from being released. If a
security option is enabled, SECURITY ENABLED displays after the RELEASE
DOOR option is chosen.
To remove magazines from the library:
1. Verify that the drive status displays (if not, press
CANCEL until it does).
2. Verify that all drives in the library are empty.
3. Press
NEXT or PREV until RELEASE DOOR displays.
4. Press
ENTER. DOOR RELEASED displays. (See the following note. If an error
message displays, see “Troubleshooting” on page 3-38.)
NOTE The drive(s) must be empty before the access door can be released. If the drive(s)
are not empty, EMPTY DRIVE NO displays. Press
NEXT or PREV until EMPTY
DRIVE YES display, then press
ENTER.
In some situations it may be necessary to override a security option and open the
access door. To open the access door when a security option prevents the door from
being released, use the OVERRIDE DOOR option under the ADMIN * menu (see
Figure 3-2 on page 3-8).
