Solution

Note: For information about operating an ATL tape library, refer to the tape library's operator guide.

To inject/eject a tape using an ATL tape library, such as an ATL 4/52, 7100, or P1000:

Running Prinergy 1.1 on NT4:

To inject a tape using Archiver Media Manager:

1) Using Archiver Media Manager, right-click Physical Locations and select INJECT. This sends a signal to the ATL tape library to access the door.

2) Inject the tape into the ATL tape library.

- If it is a 4/52 or 7100, press the OPEN button on the front panel to open the I/O slot, then inject the tape into the library. You can inject up to four cartridges at a time.

- If it is a P1000, press LOAD PORT on the LCD display, then inject the tape into the library. You can only inject one tape at a time.

3) After inserting the cartridge, close the door.

- If it is a 4/52 or 7100, press the CLOSE button.

- If it is a P1000, push the door closed.

To eject a tape using Archiver Media Manager:

1) Using Archiver Media Manager, right-click the medium that you want to eject and select EJECT. Archiver Media Manager displays the message, "Remove medium 'xxxxxx (in slot x)' from library 'library0'".

2) Remove the tape from the ATL tape library.

- If it is a 4/52 or 7100, press the OPEN button of the I/O slot, then remove the tape.

- If it is a P1000, press the LOAD PORT on the LCD panel to open the I/O slot, then remove the tape.

3) After removing the tape, close the door.

- If it is a 4/52 or 7100, press the CLOSE button of the I/O slot.
