- Find the next magazine in the fire-proof safe in Charlie's office. Use CAB6 to open it.
- Go to the 4th-floor server closet. Use CAB6 to open it.
- Find the tape backup server. Currently, this machine is in the middle shelf closest to the doors, and should have a label identifying it.
- Find the tape autoloader. This is near the bottom of backup's drive bay, labelled "DDS4 Digital Data Storage".
- Push the eject button (the top button). The LCD should change to "EJECT MAGAZINE? PRESS ENTER".
- Push the enter button (the bottom button). The current tape will unload, and the magazine will be ejected after that. This can take several minutes, so be patient.
- Move the write-protect lock toggle on the side of the old magazine to the "locked" position, and the toggle on the side of the new magazine to the "unlocked" position.
- Insert the new magazine, and wait for it to detect all the tapes. Make sure the "WP" indicator isn't on. If it is, eject the magazine and set the write-protect toggle to the unlocked position.
- After all the tapes are detected, push the tape select button (the middle button) to select the first tape, and then press the enter button (the bottom button) to load the first tape. The LCD should display "LOADING TAPE 1", followed by "READY TAPE 1".
- Once the new magazine is properly loaded, place the old magazine in Charlie's office.
- If you experience any problems, contact one of the sysadmins as soon as possible.
