Features ■A carousel that positions the specified cartridge slot in front of the tape
drive. A robotic cartridge loader moves the cartridges between the cartridge
slots and the tape drive.
■Storage for as many as eight data cartridges. Cartridges are stored in
cartridge slots mounted on the carousel. One of these cartridge slots can
contain a cleaning cartridge.
■A cartridge access door for importing or exporting a single cartridge from
the autoloader.
■A LCD that lets you monitor autoloader operations, select configuration
options, and control the cartridge loader and carousel from the front panel.
■Independent SCSI controllers for the autoloader and tape drive. Each
controller supports independent sets of SCSI messages and commands. The
autoloader and the tape drive use a wide, low-voltage differential (LVD)
SCSI interface.
■Compatibility with single-ended SCSI cables.
