HP ESL E Inserting tape cartridges

Library Operations

Inserting tape cartridges

Load tape cartridges into the library starting with the left side panels, then the right side panels, and finally the back panel (see “Library storage locations and slot numbering ” on page 35 for detailed installation procedures). Be sure all cartridges are properly positioned with the barcode facing you and fully seated in the bins.

Caution: Handle tape cartridges with care. Do not drop or bang them, or place them near sources of electromagnetic interference. Rough handling can displace the tape leader, making the cartridge unusable and potentially hazardous to the tape drives.
