– Sequential - In sequential mode, the library's firmware predefines the

selection of the cartridges. After initialization, the firmware causes the library

to select the first available cartridge found (counting from the lowest

Column/Tier position through the highest cartridge position in your library)

for loading into the drive. See “Location coordinates and element addresses”

on page 1-9.

Loop - Sequential mode with loop mode ON loads the cartridge in the lowest

Column/Tier cartridge position after the cartridge in the highest Column/Tier

cartridge position is filled with data and sent back to its home position. This

mode allows endless backup operations without user interaction.

Autoload - Sequential mode with autoload mode ON loads the first available

cartridge (the lowest Column/Tier cartridge position that contains a cartridge)

automatically if the library powers ON, or resets, with an empty drive. If the

library powers ON with a cartridge already in the drive, sequential mode will

start from the home position of that cartridge, unless the host issues a rewind

and unload command to the drive, in which case the next cartridge in

sequence will be loaded into the drive.

To start sequential mode if autoload is OFF, select the Move Cartridges

command to load the first cartridge into the drive. The sequence starts from the

home position of that cartridge. Cartridges need not to be in contiguous slots.

To stop sequential mode, select the Move Cartridges command to unload the

drive. This mode cancels sequential mode; the next sequential cartridge is NOT

loaded.

To restart sequential mode, select the Move Cartridges command again to load a

cartridge; the loading sequence resumes from the home position of that

cartridge.

v Number of active slots - Select the number of active slots you would like to

assign in your library. Selecting the number of active slots defines the number of

storage slots, number of cleaning/inactive slots, whether the I/O station is

enabled/disabled, and whether auto cleaning is allowed.

The first digit configures the number of active storage positions (4, 6, 8, or 9).

The second digit configures Column 5, Tier 1 of the magazine as an I/O Station

(0 when disabled, and 1 when enabled).

The Auto Cleaning function can be enabled only if there is at least one inactive

position in the magazine. If auto cleaning is enabled, the inactive positions

become cleaning cartridge positions.

Click Submit to transfer the settings to the library. A dialog message is displayed

when the settings are updated successfully.

Click Refresh to read the current settings from the library.
