Labeling and loading tape cartridges
The library can power on without cartridges, but needs cartridges before it can complete data read and
writ
e operations, or any tests or operations that transfer cartridges.
Bar code labels are highly recommended in production environments to improve inventory time in the
library and ease cartridge-handling processes outside the library. See “Bar code label” on page 205
.
The I/O station
If the I/O station is enabled, you can use it to load cartridges into the library. Press the magazine button
for less than 3 seconds. When the button LED starts flashing fast, pull out the I/O station. The right
magazine will only pull out part way to reveal ve slots.
