Use the OCP Operations > Unlock Left Magazines
option to release the left magazines. Pull both left
magazines straight out of the Library.
The lower left magazine, which is designated by a
white dot on the lower right corner, has a 3-slot mailslot
in the front of the magazine. Leave these slots empty if
you plan to enable the mailslot.
Insert tape cartridges in the magazines.
Replace the magazines in the Library.
Repeat for the right magazines.
The mailslot in the left magazine allows you to insert
and remove tapes without removing the magazine. You
can open the mailslot from the front panel or with host
software that supports this function.
