E. [. . . ] Do not use wrap-around labels on the individual cassettes. Most labels use a removable adhesive and have a tendency to curl or tear after multiple uses. Place labels only in the space provided on the cassette. Note the following: Store magazines (and data cassettes) in a dry, cool environment. Never reset or power down your computer or VLS while a function is in process or a tape is moving. In addition to getting tape with missing or corrupted data, you may also get tape run-on within the drive (a condition that can produce internal contamination requiring factory cleaning). If a power outage occurs during a back-up sequence, restart your backup from the beginning. 30 Operation and Maintenance Inserting the Magazine into the VLS Note 4_ ^_d QddU]`d d_ `\QSU Q S_fUbUT ]QWQjY^U _^d_ dXU F<C SQbbYQWU Remove the magazine cover.

Pushing the Magazine in Place 32 Operation and Maintenance The magazine will snap into place. If you don't hear a click, make sure that the slot on the right side of the magazine has slipped around its magazine position pin and is not just sitting on top of it. The magazine will not load correctly in this position. Loading the Magazine Once you have placed the magazine on the carriage, the VLS must initiate a loading process. During this procedure the VLS checks and maps the position of each cassette and makes sure that all cassettes are inserted into the magazine correctly. If you are using the sequential mode the VLS inserts the first cassette into the drive.

Refer to the next section for manual removal of a cassette. If the VLS robotics was used to load the cassette via applications software, attempting to "load magazine" from the keyboard will fail ­ the unit will remain on-line.
