Dual 7-Cartridge
Magazines
1
The library includes two 7-cartridge tape magazines (see figure 11
).
One slot in one of the magazines can be used to accommodate a
cleaning cartridge. The magazine can also be removed and used
for off-site storage.
Each magazine is keyed to prevent improper cartridge insertions.
Once inserted, each cartridge is locked in place by a small metal
tab. To remove a cartridge, simply push it until you hear a click,
then release it. The cartridge will be partially ejected, making it
easy to remove.

The magazine should be removed when loading or
unloading tape cartridges. A hinged handle is located on
the side of the magazine to aid in removal and storage
outside of the library.
Caution:
Do not press on the metal retaining tabs after
inserting a cartridge in a magazine.
