Removing Tape Cartridges from the Library

The tape library is designed to hold from one to three 5-slot magazines. Follow these steps to remove magazines from the library:

Some software packages require that tape cartridges be inserted and removed using the software. If a software package manages files in the library, check the software documentation before proceeding.

All drives must be empty before the access door can be released. In addition, some security configurations may prevent the access door from being released. If a security option is enabled, SECURITY ENABLED displays after the RELEASE DOOR option is chosen.

To remove magazines from the library:

1.Verify that the drive status displays (if not, press CANCEL until it does).

2.Verify that all drives in the library are empty.

3.Press NEXT or PREV until RELEASE DOOR displays.

4.Press ENTER. DOOR RELEASED displays. (See the following note. If an error message displays, see “Troubleshooting” on page 3-38.)

The drive(s) must be empty before the access door can be released. If the drive(s) are not empty, EMPTY DRIVE NO displays. Press NEXT or PREV until EMPTY DRIVE YES display, then press ENTER.

In some situations it may be necessary to override a security option and open the access door. To open the access door when a security option prevents the door from being released, use the OVERRIDE DOOR option under the ADMIN * menu (see Figure 3-2 on page 3-8).
