magazines from both sides of the device. Failure to follow normal procedure can cause data loss
and equipment damage.
If possible, the magazines should be released using the OCP or RMI. Hewlett Packard Enterprise
recommends releasing the magazines using the OCP or RMI; however, if the OCP process fails,
or if a magazine needs to be removed when the power to the device is off, you can release the
magazines manually.
TIP: The MSL4048, MSL8048, and MSL8096 have multiple magazines on each side. The
library will release all of the magazines on a side at the same time. If you want to remove more
than one magazine from a side, pull the magazines that need to be removed out a few centimeters
or inches immediately after the library releases them. You can then remove the magazines from
the library one at a time.
