Data cartridge magazines

Data cartridge magazines are the removable carriers for the data cartridges. The magazines snap onto mounting plates on the library’s rotating drum assembly and allow easy removal and replacement of cartridges. Each magazine has individual cartridge slots for ten 8mm cartridges. The Exabyte 440 contains up to four data cartridge magazines; the Exabyte 480 contains up to eight.

Fixed cartridge slot

The fixed cartridge slot, located directly above the tape drives, allows you to store an 8mm cleaning cartridge or an additional 8mm data cartridge.

Tape drives

The library can accommodate up to four of the following 8mm tape drives:

￿Mammoth with a wide SCSI configuration

￿Mammoth with a narrow SCSI configuration

￿Eliant 820 with a narrow SCSI configuration

Important You cannot combine Exabyte Mammoth tape drives with any other type of tape drive in the same library.
