This chapter describes the hardware components of the library, the cell locations for cartridge tapes, and the two library operating modes (automatic and manual). For software information and drive information, refer to the publications that pertain to these specific topics.
The library is a robotic system that mounts cartridges into a storage cell or into a drive for read/write operations. It also moves cartridges from the cartridge access port (CAP) to storage cell or from cell to cell. Figure 1 on page 15 through Figure 4 on page 22 show the major components of the library, described in the following pages.
