Using the Data Cartridge Magazine
Once you have finished installing data cartridges in the DCM, insert the full magazine
in the library. Align the DCM holes with the library’s posts and press firmly to latch the
retaining clips on each side of the DCM. Remove the magazine by firmly grasping near
the top of the magazine with one hand and pulling it straight out through the door.
Storing Cartridges Outside the Library
Follow these guidelines to store data cartridges outside the library with the DCM:
• Attach the clear plastic lid to the front of the DCM to shield the data cartridges from
dust and other debris while in storage.
• Follow the tape storage suggestions described in Caring for Data Cartridges on
page 56.
• Before inserting cartridges in the library, store the cartridges for 24 hours in the
same room as the library; this prevents problems such as tape seizure caused by
cold or cool tapes.
