Removing and replacing a magazine
CAUTION:
Only remove a magazine manually in an emergency or if you need to remove the magazines from
both sides of the device. Failure to follow normal procedure can cause data loss and equipment
damage.
If possible, the magazines should be released using the OCP or RMI. HP recommends that you release
the magazines using the OCP or RMI; however, if the OCP process fails, or if a magazine needs to
be removed when the power to the device is off, you can release the magazines manually.
Using the operator control panel

Magazine.
4. Press Enter to select the desired magazine to unlock.
5. Enter the administrator password if requested.
