• Special panels include:
-
Corners are special because there are no inner wall corner panels
- Pass-thru ports are special because the top six slots are inaccessible
because of the PTPs.
- Pass-thru port panels are also special because the top cartridge slot
(under the port) is reserved as a redundant robotics drop-off slot; two
for each rail, one on each side.
Addressing
Cartridge locations in previous libraries were listed by Panel, Row, and
Column. The cartridge slot locations for an SL8500 use five parameters:

Library, Rail, Column, Side, and Row.
For more information about addressing, see
• “Library Walls, Arrays, and Slots” on page 4
• “Address Scheme” on page 4
