Removing or replacing a magazine
It is recommended that you unlock the magazine with the Operator Panel, Management GUI, or the
release button on the front panel. If these methods fail, or if a magazine needs to be removed when the
power to the device is off, you can release the magazine manually. Only one magazine or I/O station can
be open at a time.
Note: This procedure is completed more effectively while applications are idle. While the magazine is
extended, the library robotic assembly cannot move media.
1. Log in as an administrator.
2. Go to Library > Modules and Magazines.
3. On the Actions menu, click Unlock Magazine.
