LTO Ultrium 8-Slot Autoloader User’s Guide 23
To install the data cartridges:
1 Press any button on the Operator’s Panel to change to interaction
mode.
2 Choose the
Commands menu, and then press Enter.
3 Choose
Import and press Enter.
4 Enter the number of the cartridge slot and press
Enter.
5 Insert the cartridge in the cartridge access port. The cartridge is now
placed in the selected slot.
6 Repeat steps 4 and 5 until all cartridges have been imported.
The
Import command in the Library Commands menu places a cartridge
into a specific cartridge slot through the cartridge access port. When you
use the
Import command, the cartridge carousel moves the specified
cartridge slot into position in front of the cartridge access port and slides
the door open. You can then push the cartridge into the slot through the
door. The cartridge loader then grasps the cartridge, pulls it into the
autoloader, and closes the door.
The
Export command lets you remove a cartridge from a specific
cartridge slot through the cartridge access port. When you use the
Export
command, the cartridge carousel moves the specified cartridge slot into
position in front of the cartridge access port and slides the door open. The
cartridge loader then pushes the cartridge far enough out through the
door to allow you to remove it.

Unloading a
Cartridge

The Load Cartridge command in the Commands menu lets you load the
cartridge in the specified slot into the tape drive. When you use the
Load
Cartridge
command, the cartridge carousel moves the specified cartridge
slot into position in front of the tape drive. The cartridge loader then
extracts the cartridge from the cartridge slot and inserts it into the tape
drive.
The
Unload Cartridge command causes the tape drive to unload the tape
from the tape path and eject the cartridge. After the cartridge is ejected,
the cartridge carousel moves the slot from which the cartridge originated
into position in front of the tape drive. The cartridge loader then extracts
the cartridge from the tape drive and returns it to the cartridge slot.
