Figure 1-4 shows the library’s internal components.
Tape Drive The tape drive is mounted at the back of the library. Figure 1-4
shows the library with one HH LTO-2 tape drive installed. The library will also
accommodate one FH LTO-3 tape drive, one FH LTO-4 tape drive, or two HH
LTO-2 or HH LTO-3 tape drives.
Cartridge Handling Mechanism (CHM) The CHM moves cartridges between
cells in the magazines and the tape drives. When a cartridge is ejected from a
tape drive, the CHM moves the cartridge back to the magazine. The CHM also
moves cartridges to the I/E port for easy removal from the library.
Bar Code Scanner The bar code scanner is located on the cartridge handling
mechanism. The scanner enables the library to read information from bar code
labels on the cartridges into its cartridge inventory. A backup application can
use the inventory information to locate and move specific cartridges.
Magazines The library’s two magazines hold up to 24 data cartridges; the
Magnum 224 and StorageLibrary T24 both hold 24 cartridges, while the
StorageLoader 2U LTO library holds 20 cartridges. The I/E port is located in the
magazine on the right of the library.
