The Import command in the Commands menu lets you assign a cartridge to a
specific cartridge slot. When you use the Import command, the cartridge
carousel moves the specified cartridge slot into position in front of the cartridge
access port and slides the door open. You can then push the cartridge into the
slot through the door. The cartridge loader grasps the cartridge, pulls it into
the autoloader, and closes the door.

Ultrium tape data cartridges. Attempting to use other types
of cartridges may damage the tape drive and autoloader.
Important Do not open the front door of the autoloader unless you
must perform interaction mode commands o r change
media. Use only LTO-1 Ultrium tape data cartridges . Clean
the drive whenever necessary.
Warning Never insert or remove cartridges from the cartridge slot
unless READY/ACTIVITY is lit continuously (not flashing).
