Robot
The robot moves cartridges between storage cells, tape drives, and the
I/E station. A picker is used to get or put cartridges in a storage cell or a
tape drive slot. The picker moves along an X and Y axis and can pivot
180
o
. A barcode scanner on the picker assembly identifies cartridges
located in storage cells.
The library can be configured for either one or two robots. See
Robot Configurations and Parking Modules
for more
information.
Import/Export Station
I/E stations enable you to import and export cartridges without
interrupting normal library operation. There are two types of I/E
stations: 24-slot and 72-slot.
Each 24-slot I/E station has a capacity of 24 LTO cartridges that are
located in four removable magazines. The 72-slot I/E station consists of
two side-by-side 36-slot I/E stations that can operate independently or
as a single 72-slot I/E station. Each 36-slot I/E station provides I/E
capacity of 36 LTO cartridges in six removable magazines.
The I/E station is installed on the front
of the control module or any of
the standard expansion modules or HDEMs and a 24-slot I/E station can
be installed in a right parking module. See
on page 9 and
on page 9 to see the location of the I/E station.
Note:
The I/E station cannot be configured as a storage location, but
can be part of a a logical division of library resources known as
partitions.
Note:
The maximum number of I/E element addresses in any partition
is 240. This includes both physical slots and extended I/E virtual
slots.
