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
Dual
Robotics Configurations and Parking Modules on page 7 for more
information.
Import/Export Stations
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 I/E stations and 72-slot I/E stations.
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 first seven expansion modules, including high-density expansion
modules. It can be installed in a right parking module if the right
parking module is in position 2 through 8. Expansion modules (and the
right parking module) in positions nine through seventeen are storage-
only modules and do not contain I/E stations or drives. See Figure 3 on
page 5, Figure 9 on page 14, and Figure 11 on page 16 for I/E station
location.
Note: The I/E station cannot be configured as a storage location, but
it can be part of a logical division of library resources known as
partitions. For information about partitions, see Working With
Partitions on page 128.
