4 Quantum Scalar i40 and Scalar i80 User’s Guide
Tape cartridges cannot have duplicate barcode labels. This barcode
identifies the cartridge. The library stores the physical location of the
tape cartridge in an inventory database. All library or host requests
typically reference the location of the tape cartridges based on this
barcode number. Barcode labels are mandatory and must adhere to
specific standards. For more information on barcodes, see
Chapter 12,
Working With Cartridges and Barcodes.
Robots can only be replaced by a Quantum Support technician.
Magazines Magazines are removable and contain storage and import/export
station slots for cartridges. Each magazine has 20 slots, arranged in four
columns of five slots each. The Scalar i40 contains two magazines; the
Scalar i80 contains four. The right magazines provide up to five slots
each for use as an import/export (I/E) station. For more information on
I/E stations, see Configuring I/E Station Slots on page 63.
Note: Cartridges are gently restrained within the magazine by a
detent found on the left side of each individual magazine bin
slot. To manually remove a cartridge, pull a cartridge from the
front or push on the cartridge from the rear of the magazine
via an “access hole.” Be gentle to avoid any bending of the top
magazine cover sheet metal.
The library will run if one or more magazines is open or removed;
however, it runs at reduced speed. The library will not move a cartridge
to an open or removed magazine, but it will move a cartridge to any of
the other installed magazines.
You can open the magazines using library software or manually. For
information, see
Releasing Magazines on page 148.
For information on removing and replacing magazines, see Removing
and Replacing a Magazine on page 271.
