HP StorageWorks 1/8 G2 Tape Autoloader getting started guide (AH163-96009, March 2007)

Only apply labels as designated.

Having a bar code label on each tape cartridge enables

the Autoloader to identify the cartridge quickly and

accurately, which speeds up inventory time.

Apply the bar code label to the recessed area on the

face of the cartridge, next to the write-protect switch.

Labeling tape cartridges

Loading the tape cartridges

IMPORTANT! The misuse and misunderstanding of bar

code technology can result in backup and restore

failures. To ensure that your bar codes meet HP's quality

standards, always purchase them from an approved

supplier and never print bar code labels yourself. For

more information, refer to the Bar Code Label

Requirements, Compatibility and Usage white paper

available from http://www.hp.com/support.

Use the OCP Operations > Unlock Left Magazine option

to release the left magazine. Pull the magazine straight

out of the front of the Autoloader.

Insert the tape cartridges into the slots. If you want to use

the mailslot feature, leave the front slot of the left

magazine empty.

Replace the magazine in the Autoloader.

Repeat for the right magazine.

Mailslot

NOTE: When the mailslot is disabled, the

mailslot becomes Slot 1 and all other slots are

re-numbered.
