top and bottom latches. See Figure3-3 on page 3-11.

2. Open the LSM left front door.

• For the standard door, pull gently from the top right corner.

• For the expansion door, pull from the recessed area on the right side.

3. To mount a cartridge obtain the VOLSER, location, and drive number from

the operator console. Locate the cartridge and mount it into the drive.

4. To dismount a cartridge, locate the CTU or drive. Remove the cartridge from

the drive and place it outside the LSM.

The following information details the mount and dismount procedures for each

cartridge and device type. Proceed to the appropriate section for information

about the specific drive installed in the LSM.
