The maximum number of DLT or Ultrium drives is 20. The maximum number of 9840 drives is 12.

As an operator, you might have to:

■Configure a drive in a library; refer to Drive Entries on page 76.

■Check drive status information; refer to Drive Status on page 98.

■Manually mount a cartridge to a drive or dismount a cartridge from a drive; refer to Loading/Unloading Cartridges Manually on page 131.

Note

During typical operation (or automated mode), the library’s

 

robotic hand-camera assembly automatically places a cartridge

 

into the drive or removes a cartridge from the drive when a

 

command is sent from the host software.
