It's an option somewhere in the library menu.

You can't.  The only thing you can do is open the big door and remove/insert
the tapes manually.  The 12-slot is locked permantly.  Of course, you need to
run an audit and a checkin to update the inventory in TSM.
Don't open the door when there is activity in the library !!!!
