Load Tape button (3)

The Load Tape button is used to load a selected cartridge from the magazine

into the MTC drive and then initiate a stacker mode backup. When the cartridge

is full, it is unloaded from the MTC drive and returned to the magazine. The

autoloader will then automatically take the next higher numbered cartridge and

load it into the MTC drive.

Select button (4)

To select a specific magnetic tape cartridge, press the Select button as often as

required.

Eject button (5)

The Eject button starts the unload process. The drive unloads the currently

loaded cartridge, and the changer mechanism returns it to the magazine. The

magazine is then ejected. This button can also be used to force an ejection in

an emergency.

V You are strongly advised not to force ejection because it may cause loss

of data (see the section “Forcing ejection” on page 62).

I The Eject button may be disabled by the software to prevent unautho-

rized persons from operating the autoloader.

Magazine door (6)

The magazine doorcovers the slot through which the magazine, loaded with

magnetic tape cartridges, is inserted to perform a backup.
