IBM 4560SLX Magazines, Mail slots

Magazines

The 4560SLX TapeLibrary contains two removable tape cartridge magazines that

are accessible through the magazine doors as shown in Figure3. The magazine

doors are opened using the touch screen.

Note: The magazine must match the installed tape drive. For example, an LTO

magazine should be installed on an LTOdrive and an SDLT magazine

should be installed on an SDLT drive.

Mail slots

As viewed from the front of the 4560SLX TapeLibrary, the left tape magazine

includes a mail slot, which is accessible when the left magazine slot door is open as

shown in Figure4. This mail slot enables you to insert or remove a single media

cartridge without interrupting library operation. If a full tape cartridge magazine is

required, you can configure the library to disable the mail slot feature. The right

tape magazine contains fixed cartridge slots (no mail slot feature), so it retains its

full capacity at all times.
