Use Data Cartridges 4 If your SuperLoader is equipped with the DLT1 drive, you must use DLTtape IV media. If your drive is the SDLT 220 or SDLT 320 drive, it can read DLTtape IV media but can read and write only to SDLT tape. If your SuperLoader is equipped with the LTO drive, it can read and write to Ultrium format tape only. If you try to load an incompatible tape, the fault status LED will show solid yellow and the LCD will display an error message. 74 SuperLoader Automated Tape Library User Manual SuperLoader Operation Front Panel Functionality Typically, when you first install your SuperLoader, you load your cartridges into the magazines and then load the magazines into the SuperLoader. However, you can insert and eject cartridges individually using the mailslot, or you can eject a magazine, manually load and unload cartridges, then load the magazine back into the SuperLoader. The SuperLoader automatically detects the presence of a cartridge in the magazine slot. Note: On the front panel menu, whenever you see Enter or Eject, it means the tape enters and leaves the SuperLoader through the mailslot. Whenever you see Load or Unload, it means the tape is loaded into or unloaded from the tape drive. If you try to perform an illegal operation, the SuperLoader refuses to perform the operation. For example, if you try to load a cartridge through the mailslot to the drive but the drive already contains a cartridge, the mailslot does not unlock. If you try to unload a cartridge from the drive while the SuperLoader is writing to the tape, the command will not be initiated until the write command is completed. Insert a Single Cartridge 4 When you want to load a single cartridge into the SuperLoader, you can use the mailslot. However, if the Security option is turned on, you have to enter a valid password to unlock the mailslot before you can load a cartridge. When you insert a cartridge through the mailslot, you can load it into the tape drive or store it in a magazine.
