Chapter 4 SuperLoader Operation
Front Panel Functionality
78 SuperLoader User’s Guide
Typically, when you first install your SuperLoader, you load your
cartridges into the magazines and then load the magazines into the
SuperLoader. However, you can insert and eject cartridges individually
using the mailslot, or you can eject a magazine, manually load and
unload cartridges, then load the magazine back into the SuperLoader.
The SuperLoader automatically detects the presence of a cartridge in the
magazine slot.
If you try to perform an illegal operation, the SuperLoader refuses to
perform the operation. For example, if you try to load a cartridge through
the mailslot to the drive but the drive already contains a cartridge, the
mailslot does not unlock. If you try to unload a cartridge from the drive
while the SuperLoader is writing to the tape, the command will not be
initiated until the write command is completed.
Insert a Single
Cartridge 4
When you want to load a single cartridge into the SuperLoader, you can
use the mailslot. However, if the Security option is turned on, you have to
enter a valid password to unlock the mailslot before you can load a
cartridge. When you insert a cartridge through the mailslot, you can load
it into the tape drive or store it in a magazine.
To Insert a Cartridge in the Tape Drive: 4
1 On the main menu, scroll to
Commands, then press Enter.
2 On the Commands submenu, scroll to
Enter, then press Enter.
3 On the Enter submenu, scroll to
To Drive, then press Enter.
Note: On the front panel menu, whenever you see
Enter or Eject, it
means the tape enters and leaves the SuperLoader through the
mailslot. Whenever you see
Load or Unload, it means the tape
is loaded into or unloaded from the tape drive.
Note: After
Load cartridge appears on the LCD, a countdown
appears. You have 20 seconds to load a cartridge through
the mailslot before it re-locks.
