Loading Tapes Into the Tape Library
When diagnostic tests are completed, you can load the production tape cartridges
inside the tape library. The most efficient way to load a great quantity of tape cartridges
in the tape library is to manually load them into the array of cells. Figure 5-4 on
page 5-18 illustrates this method.
Clean Drive Mounts and dismounts a specified cleaning cartridge to a

Caution. An audit update is required when the DEMO MODE completes. Perform an IPL of
the tape library to re audit it. Then notify the customer to update the host cartridge database.
