Getting Started 1 This chapter describes the hardware components of the library, the cell locations for cartridge tapes, and the two library operating modes (automatic and manual). For software information and drive information, refer to the publications that pertain to these specific topics. The library is a robotic system that mounts cartridges into a storage cell or into a drive for read/write operations. It also moves cartridges from the cartridge access port (CAP) to storage cell or fr

Robot The robot moves cartridges between storage cells, between cells and tape drives, and between the CAP and cells. The robot consists of the Z-column assembly (vertical motion), the theta mechanism (lateral motion), and the hand-camera assembly. Figure 2 on page 17 shows these robot components. The Z-column assembly contains a Z-column and Z-carriage. The Z-column attaches to the floor and ceiling of the tape library. The Z-column can rotate almost 360 degrees to enable access to all the

Storage Cells The library contains storage cells for 228 to 690 cartridges, excluding the CAP cells. The number of cells is determined by how many drives are installed and whether the tape library has the standard rear window panel or the expansion frame. The expansion frame provides additional storage cells for 294 cartridges. Cell Locations Cartridges are stored in cell arrays that hold six cartridges. Cell arrays are stacked in columns and these columns are arranged in a circle around th

Chapter 1 Library Capacity Table 1 on page 20 lists the library storage capacities. Although library capacity is automatically configured when you bring the library online, check the operator panel to be sure that the capacity information is accurate.

This feature will make it possible to couple two 20/700 libraries together, allowing tape cartridges to be exchanged betwe
