Loading a Cartridge into an Ultrium Drive

To load a cartridge into a Ultrium drive: 1. Ensure that the drive is not in use.

Caution Possible equipment problem: You must open the library’s front door before attempting to manually mount a cartridge to an Ultrium drive. A unique communication between the library and drive prepares the drive for manual operation.

2.Open the tape library right front door by pulling on the left side of the door.

3.Open the library left front door by using a latch key to unlock both locks. See Figure 32 on page 123. Turn the key counter clockwise to unlock them, then pull open the door.

4.Locate the cartridge (see Locating a Cartridge in the Storage Cells on page 127).
