Configuring I/E Station Slots

Table 4 Scalar i80 I/E Slot
Configuration
You can configure zero I/E station slots. However, configuring zero I/E
station slots has the following consequences:
• You cannot import and export data or cleaning cartridges using I/E
stations.
• You cannot manually clean tape drives with a cleaning cartridge
using the operator panel.
• You will need to bulk load and bulk unload cartridges, disrupting
library operations (see
Bulk Loading Tape Cartridges on page 155).
Note: Before using the I/E station to load and unload cartridges, you
need to unlock the I/E station, which allows you to slide the
magazine out just far enough to access the I/E station slots (see
Unlocking and Opening the I/E Station on page 145).
Caution: If the I/E station area needs to be reconfigured, consider
the affected I/E area slots, as well as any affected partition
storage slots to ensure:
- tape cartridges are not present in any storage slots that
will be included in the new I/E area configuration, and
- tape cartridges are not present when excluded from an I/E
area configuration.
