Configuring the mailslot
Before changing the mailslot configuration, verify the designated slot is available
and that no tapes are located in the same slot. By default, the library is configured
for a one-slot mailslot. This setting can also be configured for 0 slots (no mailslot)
or five slots from the Administration or Service menus.
The location of the mailslot is always the right door for all library models. When a
tape is being changed, the door opens only to the number of slots that has been
configured.
To configure the mailslot, do the following:
1. In the Configure Mailslot menu, a message will remind you to check the
storage slot and mailslot configurations in the backup software.
2. Select OK.
3. The display indicates the current mailslot setting. Select the number of mailslots
desired (0, 1, or 5). See the following table for information abut each of these
options.
4. A confirmation screen automatically displays the success or failure of the
change and reminds you to reconfigure the backup software.
5. Select Done to exit.
Attention: Do not change the mailslot setting without reconfiguring your
backup software. The backup software must reflect the mailslot setting to assist
in tracking tape exchanges and the current location of all tapes.
