Import Media
Import allows you to move a data or cleaning tape cartridge from the I/E slot to a storage location in your
library. This allows you to insert a tape into the library without opening the front door. If your I/E slot is
configured as a storage slot, this function cannot be used.
There are two import options: Import Data Cartridge and Import Cleaning Cartridge. To import a cleaning
cartridge, you must first configure a cleaning slot location. For more information on configuring cleaning
slots, see Configure Cleaning Slots
on page 73. There are two methods for importing a data cartridge: with
a partitioned library and with an unpartitioned library.
CAUTION: When a tape is inserted into the I/E slot, the picker may grab the tape to scan it and then
place the tape back into the I/E slot or another slot in the library. This process can take up to 11 seconds,
and during that time you should not insert another tape into the I/E slot.
2 A warning screen will prompt you to
ensure that you want to reset the library
configuration. Press to continue.
The library will reboot and will be set to the
default configuration.
The Setup Wizard will also start to allow a new
configuration to be established.
