If the selected partition is online, it will be taken offline before the

import operation is performed, and brought back online after the

operation is complete. If the library contains multiple partitions,

the import operation will not affect operations in other partitions.

Note:

Once the import operation has started, do not interfere with

the operation by opening and closing the I/E station door.

Caution:

If you select the wrong partition, open the I/E station

door. Move the cartridge to a different I/E station slot

and close the I/E station door. The library will rescan

the I/E station, and the

screen will appear

again.

Note:

If the operation does not complete successfully, the

partition remains offline until you turn it back online

manually or restart the library (see

Taking a Partition

on page 78).
