During normal operation, you do not need to intervene in autoloader 

activities. However, you may occasionally need to perform the following tasks, 

described in this chapter:



Insert and remove cartridges



Load and unload cartridges from the tape drive



Clean the tape drive



Reset the autoloader



Run system demos



Perform diagnostic tests



Store cartridges that you have removed from the autoloader

To insert and remove cartridges from the autoloader, you use the operator 

panel and the cartridge access port (see 

In the event of a general power failure or a failure of the autoloader’s 

power supply, you can operate the cartridge access port manually if you 

need to remove cartridges. See 

 for instructions.

For convenience, you can use cell 7 in the autoloader to store a cleaning 

cartridge for the tape drive. Refer to 

 for 

information that will help you determine whether you want to store a 

cleaning cartridge in the autoloader.

For data security, you can prevent use of the cartridge access port by 

setting a password for the operator panel (see 

) or by issuing 

commands from the autoloader application (refer to your software 

documentation).
