Modes of Operation
5-20 Sixth Edition 95741
Priority Mount Mode
The CSL is a sequential scratch loader. An operator can physically mount a
priority cartridge directly into the unit. The host may issue a Load Display
command with required volser. This command may be issued during any CSL
mode of operation informing the operator to place the cartridge into the feed
channel (Figure 5-14).
Note: The output bin holds only seven cartridges. If you are going to load a
priority cartridge into the feed channel, ensure the output bin is
unloaded or has space for the priority mounted cartridge.
To mount a priority cartridge, review:
•“CSL in System Mode”
•“CSL in Automatic Mode” on page 5-21
•“CSL in Manual Mode” on page 5-22
CSL in System Mode
When the CSL is in the system mode and the drive is not loaded, follow these
procedures to load a priority cartridge:
1. Verify that the drive is currently unloaded and the index rods are on the
right (Figure 5-14).
2. Insert the priority cartridge into the CSL feed channel (Figure 5-14):
a. Insert the cartridge past the cartridge stop mechanism. See Figure 5-15.
b. Do not insert the cartridge past the first index rod (Figure 5-15).
