The process for importing cartridges includes the following steps:
1 Go to the front of the library and insert cartridges into the I/E station.
2 Close the I/E station door.
The Assign I/E screen appears on the operator panel if the Manual
Cartridge Assignment
setting is enabled on the operator panel System
Settings
screen (Tools > System Settings).
If the Assign I/E screen appears, do the following:
a Assign the cartridges to the appropriate partition by selecting a
partition listed on the Assign I/E screen.
The partition button turns blue after it has been selected.
b Select Apply.
If the selected partition is online, it will be taken offline before the
import operation is performed, and brought back online after the
operation is complete. If the library contains multiple partitions,
the import operation will not affect operations in other partitions.
Note: Once the import operation has started, do not interfere with
the operation by opening and closing the I/E station door.
Caution: If you select the wrong partition, open the I/E station
door. Move the cartridge to a different I/E station slot
and close the I/E station door. The library will rescan
the I/E station, and the Assign I/E screen will appear
again.
Note: If the operation does not complete successfully, the
partition remains offline until you turn it back online
manually or restart the library (see Taking a Partition
Online or Offline on page 78).
