Removing a Cartridge
from the Magazine
2
To remove a cartridge from the magazine, press on the cartridge until
it clicks, then release. The slot has a spring-release action.
Caution:
Sliding the metal tab aside to remove a cartridge from the
magazine is the leading cause of magazine errors. Always
use the push-and-release method to insert and extract
cartridges.
Inserting Bar code
Labels into the
Cartridge Slot
2
The system is shipped with bar code labels that can be inserted into the
front slide slot (see figure 21):

order them directly from ATL.
Using the Cleaning
Tape Cartridge
2
If the tape drive detects a failure during the calibration routine or if an
unrecoverable hard error occurs while writing or reading a tape,
CLN
is displayed.
Note:
Use physical slot 8 (OCP slot 7) when using the cleaning tape
cartridge.
CLN
indicates that the drive head may be contaminated and,
therefore, in need of cleaning.
Repeated
CLN
messages with different data cartridges may
indicate a drive failure that may require drive replacement.
If
CLN
appears on the display when a particular cartridge is used, it
may be a media problem. Replace the tape cartridge
