Chapter 1
Drive carrier When you purchase the library, each tape drive in the library is fitted inside a drive carrier. The drive carrier allows you to slide the drive in and out of the library if the tape drive needs repair or if you are adding new tape drives.
Because the tape drives have different faceplates, there are different drive carriers for Mammoth tape drives and Eliant 820 tape drives, as shown below. Because of the different SCSI connectors, there is a third drive carrier for Mammoth wide SCSI tape drives (not shown).
Note: You must purchase the tape drive
