Dell PowerVault 124T - Manual (Page 27)

Manually Operating the Magazine
There are two white thumbwheels, located on each end of the magazine. You can move the slots within the magazine by turning these two white
thumbwheels in either direction and aligning a slot with one of the two openings.
Do not rotate the magazine by inserting your hand and pushing the cartridge carriers. You can use the openings in the magazine to load and unload
cartridges from the eight slots within each magazine.
To identify a slot:
Each slot has an identification number that is exposed when the slots are in the upper section of the magazine. With the magazine removed from the
autoloader, you can see the identification mark on the top side of the magazine through one of two windows on the upper surface of the magazine. Each
magazine carrier is labeled 1/9, 2/10, 3/11, and so forth. Lower numbers 1 - 8 reference slots in the left magazine. Higher numbers 9 - 16 reference slots on
the right magazine if the optional right magazine is installed.
To load cartridges into a fully ejected magazine:
1. To load cartridges into the magazine, center a slot within one of the openings located on the side of the magazine.
2. Properly orient the cartridge; tape upright and bar code label facing outward.
3. Fully insert the cartridge into the slot.
When pushing the cartridge into the slot, you will feel a small resistance (detent) until the cartridge is properly latched into the slot. All forward progress
stops when the cartridge is fully inserted.
You can remove a cartridge in the same manner as you insert it. Use the white thumbwheels to center the desired slot(s) in the openings on the side of the
magazine. Do not rotate the magazine by inserting your hand and pushing the cartridge carriers. Using your thumb and index finger, pull out the cartridge. You
will feel a small resistance, but continue to pull the cartridge until it comes free.
NOTICE: It is recommended that you fully remove the magazine to load and unload cartridges. If the magazine is not fully removed, do
not rotate the magazine.
NOTE: There is a keying feature in each slot that only allows you to fully insert the cartridge one way. Make sure there are no labels
adhering to the cartridge at any point other than the designated label area.
