A carousel that positions the specified cartridge slot in front of the tape
drive. A robotic cartridge loader moves the cartridges between the cartridge
slots and the tape drive.

cartridge slots mounted on the carousel. One of these cartridge slots can
contain a cleaning cartridge.

A cartridge access door for importing or exporting a single cartridge from
the autoloader.
