I/E slots are shared by all partitions within a library.
Before you change the number of I/E slots, it is recommended that you remove any cartridges from
the slots that will become the new I/E slots. If the new I/E setting specifies 3 I/E slots, the number of
slots in the partition owning the lower left magazine will be decreased by 3. If the new I/E setting
specifies 8 I/E slots, the partition owning the upper left magazine will lose all 8 slots in this magazine.
Any cartridges left in the new I/E slots will become unassigned.
