Dell PowerVault TL1000 - Manual (Page 89)

Note: Each column has a spring loaded mechanism that pushes the cartridges into
Tier 1. Moving a second cartridge into a column moves the first cartridge
into Tier 2. Cartridges cannot be moved directly from Tier 1 in one column
to Tier 2 in another column in a single move operation (intermediate move
operations are required).
Note: Cartridges cannot be moved to the accessor with this command. However,
cartridges can be moved from the accessor with this command if the library
was powered OFF with a cartridge still held in the accessor.
Unloading the drive
Select Manage Library > Unload Drive and click Unload to unload the tape
cartridge from the tape drive head.
Unload when library is in Random mode: The cartridge in the drive is unloaded
from the tape head mechanism, but is still retained inside the tape drive housing.
The Move Cartridge command moves the cartridge from the drive to another
location. Moving a tape cartridge from a drive to another location both unloads
and moves the cartridge in a single action.
Unload when library is in Sequential mode: The cartridge in the drive is unloaded
from the tape head mechanism, and returned to the cartridge home position
Cleaning the drive manually
Select Manage Library > Clean Drive to clean a drive manually. Select a cleaning
cartridge to use (from the magazine or from the I/O station), and click Clean.
The cleaning cartridge is returned to its home position when the drive cleaning is
finished.
Taking the library online and offline
Select Manage Library > Library State to take the library online or offline. Check
the library status, and click the button that is displayed to change the library
status.
