Internal Library Addressing Scheme
Library Addressing Reference C-5
– When numbering a specific slot, the rail refers to the rail adjacent to the CAP
magazine (can be values 2-4) and the row is the slot in the CAP magazine (can
be values 1-13).
■
Column : The column value is the number of customer accessible columns plus 3.
In a library with no SEMs, there are 11 customer accessible columns, therefore the
CAP column value is 14.
■
Side :
– Right CAP = side value of 1
– Left CAP = side value of 2
Example
For firmware address 1, 3, 22, 2, 10: The library value is 1. The rail is the third from the
top (3). The library contains one SEM (19 customer accessible columns plus 3 = 22).
The CAP is on the left side (2). The slot is the 10th in the CAP magazine.
