HP StorageWorks MSL8096 Tape Library getting started guide (AH218-96002, March 2007)

Only apply labels as designated.

Having a bar code label on each tape cartridge

enables the Library to identify the cartridge quickly and

accurately, which speeds up inventory time.

Apply the bar code label to the recessed area on the

face of the cartridge, next to the write-protect switch.

Loading the tape cartridges

IMPORTANT! The misuse and misunderstanding of bar

code technology can result in backup and restore failures.

To ensure that your bar codes meet HP's quality

standards, always purchase them from an approved

supplier and never print bar code labels yourself. For

more information, refer to the Bar Code Label

Requirements, Compatibility and Usage white paper

available from http://www.hp.com/support.

Use the OCP Operations > Unlock Left Magazines

option to release the left magazines. Pull all of the left

magazines out about 2 cm (1 in) to clear the lock, and

then pull each magazine out individually.

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 configure these slots as mailslots.

Replace the magazines in the Library.

Repeat for the right magazines.

The upper right magazine can also be configured as a

mailslot. Leave this magazine empty if you plan to use it

as a mailslot.
