Dell PowerVault TL1000 - Manual (Page 66)

Note: Column 5 Tier 2 is reserved as the exchange position. This position is
accessible by the library only. A locking mechanism prevents insertion of
a cartridge into the reserved slot.
Each cartridge must be inserted with the indicator arrow on the leading edge of
the upper surface of the cartridge pointing towards the cartridge magazine (see
Figure 3-28).
Note: Do not rely on the bar code label orientation, if attached, to provide an
indication of the correct cartridge orientation. The bar code label is right
side up if attached correctly.
The Auto Cleaning function can be enabled only if the number of active slots is
less than the maximum available slots. The active slots are always enabled
starting with the lowest numerical cartridge position number in the magazine.
This position is at the drive end of the cartridge magazine. Place cleaning
cartridges in inactive cartridge positions for use by the auto cleaning function.
Do not store data or cleaning cartridges in the I/O Station (Column 5, Tier 1) if
the I/O station is enabled.
3. Put the magazine back into the library and wait for the library inventory to
complete. Then, you can proceed to the next step.
4. Press Cancel to return to the top-level menu.
