Library Features
10 Tandberg Data M-Series User’s Guide
Each cartridge magazine holds 10 DLT/SDLT cartridges or 12 LTO
cartridges. The bins in the left magazines are numbered from 1 through
10 (or 12 in LTO libraries) from front to back. The bins in the right
magazines are numbered from 1 through 10 (or 12 in LTO libraries) from
back to front.
The M1500 has one fixed cartridge slot behind the left magazine. The
M2500 has four fixed cartridge slots, one behind each left magazine. The
fixed cartridge slots can be used as additional data cartridge bins, or can
be used to hold cleaning tapes, which can be moved to a tape drive when
cleaning is required.
A bar code reader is attached to the library’s robotic hand. This bar code
reader automatically identifies the cartridges in the library, if the
cartridges are fitted with acceptable bar code labels.
