Chapter 3 Configuring the Library 93
Chapter 3
Configuring the Mailslot
The mailslot is used for moving tapes into and out of the library in a controlled
manner. Mailslot locations are different than storage locations. Consequently,
having a larger mailslot decreases the number of storage locations available
in the library. See Table 13 on page 94.
The mailslot is comprised of magazine locations in the upper right-hand
drawer. When a tape is being changed, the drawer opens only to the number
of slots that have been configured.
Figure 40 Mailslot Drawer
By default, the library is configured for a one-slot mailslot. This setting can also
be configured for 0 slots (no mailslot), 1 slot, 1 magazine, or 2 magazines
from the
Administration or Service menus (see Table 13 on page 94).
