Overview

DCA

The drive carrier assembly (DCA) is configured with one DLT1, SDLT 320, or Ultrium 460 tape drive, depending on the model. The DCA facilitates the easy removal of the drive. To change tape drives, you can replace the DCA without having to remove the top cover of the autoloader.

Barcode Reader

The barcode reader provides inventory feedback to the host application and/or LCD panel by reading the cartridge barcode labels. The autoloader stores the customized inventory data in its non-volatile memory.

For best performance, HP recommends using only HP barcode labels:

Part number C9240-67903 for DLT or SDLT cartridges

Part number C7970B for Ultrium data cartridges

Supported Software

The autoloader supports most major operating systems and is also compatible with most popular backup software applications.

Note: Information on specific supported operating systems and backup applications can be found at http://www.hp.com and at vendor websites.
