Removing or replacing a magazine

It is recommended that you unlock the magazine with the Operator Panel, Management GUI, or the release button on the front panel. If these methods fail, or if a magazine needs to be removed when the power to the device is off, you can release the magazine manually. Only one magazine or I/O station can be open at a time.
Note: This procedure is completed more effectively while applications are idle. While the magazine is extended, the library robotic assembly cannot move media.

  2. Go to Library > Modules and Magazines.
  3. On the Actions menu, click Unlock Magazine.
  4. Click Open in the left or right magazine column within the module that contains the magazine to be opened.
  5. A message box indicates when the magazine is unlocked.
  6. Unlock Magazine screen shows that the magazine is now unlocked.
Note: If not removed, the magazine and the I/O station relock after 30 seconds.
To manually eject the magazine, insert a paper clip or a small flat head screwdriver into the appropriate magazine release hole and gently push the tab in. See Figure 1 and Figure 2.
