Chapter 8  SCSI Commands

Elements indicates the number of internal autoloader Import Export Elements. 
Because the autoloader is not equipped with Import Export Elements, it is 00h.

The First Data Transfer Element Address field indicates the Address of the first 
internal autoloader Data Transfer Element. In the case of the autoloader, it is 
52h. The Number of Data Transfer Elements indicates the number of data 
transfer elements. The autoloader only has one Data Transfer Element (Tape 
Drive), and is therefore 01h.

Each internal autoloader Element has a unique Address.

Table 8.6.3.2.2 : Element address assignment page

Note

These values cannot be changed with the MODE SELECT command.
