Autoload - Sequential mode with auto load mode Enabled loads the rst available cartridge (the
lowest Column/Tier cartridge position that contains a cartridge) automatically if the library powers
ON, or resets, with an empty drive. If the library powers ON with a cartridge already in the drive,
sequential mode will start from the home position of that cartridge, unless the host issues a rewind
and unload command to the drive, in which case the next cartridge in sequence will be loaded into
the drive.
To start sequential mode if autoload is OFF, select the Move Cartridges command to load the rst
cartridge into the drive. The sequence starts from the home position of that cartridge. Cartridges need
not to be in contiguous slots.
To stop sequential mode, select the Move Cartridges command to unload the drive. This mode
cancels sequential mode; the next sequential cartridge is NOT loaded.
To restart sequential mode, select the Move Cartridges command again to load a cartridge; the
loading sequence resumes from the home position of that cartridge.
• Number of active slots - Select the number of active slots you would like to assign in your library.
Selecting the number of active slots denes the number of storage slots, number of cleaning/inactive
slots, whether the I/O station is enabled/disabled, and whether auto cleaning is allowed.
The rst digit congures the number of active storage positions (4, 6, 8, or 9). The second digit
congures Column 5, Tier 1 of the magazine as an I/O Station (0 when disabled, and 1 when enabled).
The Auto Cleaning function can be enabled only if there is at least one inactive position in the magazine.
If auto cleaning is enabled, the inactive positions become cleaning cartridge positions.
Click Submit to transfer the settings to the library. A dialog message is displayed when the settings are
updated successfully.
