Importing Data Cartridges through the CAP

To open the CAP and import data cartridges:

1.Press the [CAP A] or [CAP B] button on the operator panel to open the CAP.

The indicator will light.

Caution Possible halt to operation or damage to components. You must enter the cartridges properly or you might damage the robot or the drive, or cause the library to stop operating. Use only cartridges designed for your type of drives.

Refer to Figure 29 on page 109 and Figure 30 on page 110 while performing the following steps.

2.Load cartridges into the magazine by lifting up, then pulling out and down on the magazine handle to gain access to the slots. If desired, you can also remove the magazine from the CAP by lifting it out (see Figure 28 on page 108).

Note

You can use the snap-on retention cartridge cover to keep

 

cartridges in place when carrying the magazine. Remove the

 

clear cover from the back of the magazine by lifting the side

 

edge. To protect the cartridges, place the slots on one edge of

 

the cover into the grooves on the side of the magazine’s top

 

panel and snap the other edge into place.
