Load Port
1
The load port (figure 4 on page 7) is located at the front of the library
above and to the left of the control panel. Under library control and in
conjunction with the load port
OPEN
and
CLOSE
buttons, it allows
the operator to insert and/or remove up to four tape cartridges. (See
table 2 on page 11 for a description of the load port buttons.)
For a load operation, press the load port
OPEN
button. When the
indicator stops blinking, the load port door automatically opens (and
locks in the open position) allowing the operator to insert tape
cartridges.
After the operator presses the
CLOSE
button and closes the door, the
tape cartridge(s) is (are) made available to the library.
Caution:
You must release the
CLOSE button before pushing the
load port door closed.
For the unload operation, the gripper places tape cartridges in the load
port bins. Looking through the view port, the operator will be able to
decide if an unload operation is necessary. Pressing the
OPEN
button
automatically opens the door allowing the operator to remove the tape
cartridge(s).
