Configuring the Mailslot

The mailslot is used for moving tapes into and out of the library in a controlled manner. Mailslot locations are different than storage locations. Consequently, having a larger mailslot decreases the number of storage locations available in the library. See Table 13 on page 94.

The mailslot is comprised of magazine locations in the upper right-hand drawer. When a tape is being changed, the drawer opens only to the number of slots that have been configured.

Figure 40 Mailslot Drawer

By default, the library is configured for a one-slot mailslot. This setting can also be configured for 0 slots (no mailslot), 1 slot, 1 magazine, or 2 magazines from the Administration or Service menus (see Table 13 on page 94).
