facet
One of the columns of cartridge slots in a Media Expansion Module
(MEM2).The carousel in a MEM contains 9 facets, with 58 slots (rows) per
facet.
Fibre Channel
One of the communication protocols supported by the library. Fibre
Channel is a set of standards for a serial I/O bus.
front panel slot
Any the cartridge slots that can be installed on the inside of the library’s
front panel instead of an I/O port.
handler
The library assembly that includes the picker mechanism and the barcode

Y-axis, and in and out on the Z-axis. It rotates on the Theta-axis. The
handler is referred to as a medium transport element in the SCSI
standard.
HBA
Host bus adapter card.
host bus adapter
card (HBA)
A circuit board installed in one of the system controller’s four expansion
slots that allows the library to attach to and communicate with a SCSI bus
or Fibre Channel network. The HBAs supported by the library have two
ports, which means you can connect two networks or SCSI buses to each
card.
hot swappable
A library component, such as tape drive assemblies, fans, and power
supplies, that can be replaced without removing system power.
I/O port
An opening on the front of the library through which cartridges can be
inserted or removed without exposing internal library components.
Inventory Sentry
The pairs of LED emitters and detectors in the front of the library that
detect whether a cartridge is protruding from a slot or whether someone
has reached into the library. Also referred to as the
light curtain
.
LED
Light emitting diode. The library contains five LEDs on its front panel to
indicate its operating status. Additional LEDs are used on each power
supply and tape drive assembly.
library
A robotic media handler that is capable of storing multiple pieces of
removable media and loading and unloading them from one or more tape
drives in arbitrary order.
