Using the TLZ7L autoloader
7.1 Overview
The TLZ7L autoloader (Figures 7–1, 7–2, 7–3, and 7–4) provides very high
capacity unattended backup, as well as support for the full Random Access
Command Set as defined by SCSI-2. It is packaged in an industry standard
5.25-inch full-high form factor with an embedded TLZ07 tape drive and
provides all the functionality/features of the TLZ07. The TLZ7L autoloader
model is not a field upgrade option for the TLZ07 tape drive; it must be
purchased as a single unit.
With a 4-cartridge magazine, the TLZ7L autoloader provides up to 32 gigabytes
of storage. With a 12-cartridge magazine (PN TLZ6L-12), it provides up to 96
gigabytes of storage.
7.2 Indicators
The TLZ7L autoloader has four LED indicators. The labels for these LED
indicators come with the autoloader. They are provided in four languages:
English, French, German, and Spanish; and two orientations: vertical and
horizontal. Choose your labels and place them on the bezel as shown in
Figure 7–1. Note that in the vertical orientation, the left side of the loader will
be on the bottom, with the right side on the top. (The dot matrix display also
supports the same four languages.)
The Data Compression LED is lit when data compression is enabled on the
TLZ07 tape drive. Both the Data Compression LED and the DDS-2 LED flash
rapidly when a loader fault occurs. The DDS-2 LED will be lit when the drive
is in DDS-2 mode. The Write Protect and Cassette LEDs are described in
Chapter 5, Using the TLZ07 Cassette Tape Drive .
