You can configure zero I/E station slots. However, configuring zero I/E
stati
on slots has the following consequences:
• You cannot import and export data or cleaning cartridges using I/E
stati
ons.
• You cannot manually clean tape drives with a cleaning cartridge
usi
ng the operator panel.
• You will need to bulk load and bulk unload cartridges, disrupting
li
brary operations (see
Bulk Loading Tape Cartridges on page 155).
Note: Before using the I/E station to load and unload cartridges, you
need to unlock the I/E station, which allows you to slide the
magazine out just far enough to access the I/E station slots (see
Unlocking and Opening the I/E Station on page 145).
Caution: Empty I/E station slots before changing the I/E
configuration to avoid tape cartridge ownership confusion.
