Operation
Similarly, the hyper magazine will not be automatically ejected even when an eject command is received from the host computer, and instead like the following will be displayed on the LCD message window.
To press the ENT key to cause the tray of the mailslot or the hyper magazine to be ejected, it is necessary for the key switch to be in UNLOCK position. Since the tray of the mailslot or the hyper magazine will not be ejected until a user with a lock release key goes to the place where the changer in question is installed and switches the key switch to UNLOCK position, security is ensured during the interval between the time a command is issued and the time the user actually reaches the changer.
4. Hyper I/E
While a hyper magazine is designed to be used as a disc magazine capable of accommodating
The subsystems which make up SCSI changers may be divided into the following four types of elements:
1.Media transport element (i.e., robotics)
2.Storage elements (i.e., slots)
3.Import/export element (i.e., mailslot)
4.Data transfer elements (i.e., drives)
Although slots (which are provided by disc magazines) and mailslot are usually defined as different elements, by turning ON hyper I/E function it becomes possible to control a hyper magazine in the same way as mailslot.

(Note that a “Hyper I/E is activated” message will be displayed if hyper I/E function is set to ON.)
NOTE:
Since hyper magazines retain their attributes as storage elements even when hyper I/E function is set to ON, the changer control software may not treat a hyper magazine as an import/export element.
However, hyper I/E function should always be set to OFF when the changer control software being used does not recognize the use of multiple import/export elements or when there is a danger of erroneous operations being performed.
