  • Page 56: Inventory Function

    Overview 1.2.3 Inventory function This is a function for updating cartridge management information by reading the bar code labels affixed to the cartridges inside the library. The inventory function is used in the following cases: When the library is turned on (only if the auto-inventory function is "enabled") When the inventory is operated from the operator panel When the front door is opened and closed to insert or eject a large number of cartridges.

  • Page 57: Manual Load Function

    1.2 Functional Overview 1.2.4 Manual load function This is a function for loading cartridges directly to the drive from CAS or to unload them directly from the drive to CAS without using backup software. To load a cartridge to the drive or to unload it from the drive manually, perform the Load/Unload operation on the operator panel.

  • Page 58: Manual Cleaning Function

    Furthermore, the auto-cleaning function of the backup software uses ordinary cells, reducing the cells available for data cartridges. Fujitsu therefore recommends using the auto-cleaning function under control of the library (the factory default is "enabled").
