Step 3: Add Media
1 In the Partition drop-down box, select the partition where the media will be created
(see
Figure 29).
2 Under Add Contiguous Media, enter information about the media:
• Initial Location - The initial location for cartridges after they are created
(Storage Slot or I/E Slot).
Note: You cannot create more cartridges than the number of available slots in
the initial location. For example, if 50 I/E slots are available, you cannot
create more than 50 cartridges if the initial location is set to I/E Slot.
• Number of Media - The number of cartridges to create in the partition.
• Starting Barcode - The first barcode number in the cartridge sequence.
You can enter any alpha-numeric string for the starting barcode. Subsequent
barcodes are incremented accordingly. For example, if you enter AA, the
cartridges are numbered AA0000, AA0001, AA0002, and so on. If you enter a
starting barcode with less than 6 characters, zeroes are appended to the
barcode to make it 6 characters long.
• Media Type - The media type of the cartridges.
• Media Capacity - The capacity of the cartridges. Select an option:
• Native Size - The capacity is determined by the selected media type.
• Custom Size - The capacity is a custom value. Enter the custom cartridge
capacity in the box. Make sure the value is within the acceptable range
displayed next to the box.
