Library Operation

Replacing a single cartridge

As described in this section, you can use several different methods to replace single cartridges without opening the library door.

￿Use the Extend/Retract E/E option to insert or remove cartridges through the entry/exit port.

￿Use the Remove Cartridge option to remove the cartridge.

￿Use the Insert Cartridge option to replace the cartridge.

Important Do not open the library door to replace individual cartridges. Opening and closing the library door causes the library to update the cartridge inventory, which takes approximately 2½ to 5 minutes.

Using the Extend/ Retract E/ E option

1.Make sure that security is disabled (see page 60).

2.From the Main Menu, select Extend/Retract E/E. The library extends or retracts the entry/exit port transport arm, depending on its current position.

3.Insert the cartridge into the entry/exit port and press >(QWHU@; or, remove a cartridge by pressing down on the entry/exit port PUSH tab, as shown in the following figures.
