Label a new optical cartridge with uninitialized volumes

Several steps are necessary to label a cartridge that is new (both volumes are uninitialized). The options are selected from the Work with Optical Volumes display.

1. Label sides A and B with the volume names you will use when initializing them.
2. Place the cartridge in the input/output station with side A facing up.
3. Select option 1 (Add). After you have added the cartridge, the volume names appear on the Work with Optical Volumes display (see the graphic) as system-generated IDs that consist of the system date and time.
   
   
   
   The earlier time corresponds to the side that was facing up in the input/output station. Therefore, if side A was facing up in the input/output station, then side A will have the earlier date and time of the two volumes.
4. Initialize the volume that corresponds to side A by choosing option 10 (Initialize) next to the system-generated volume ID. Use the labeled name. Repeat this step for side B.
