■9741/9741E Drive Cabinet

The drive cabinet houses from 1 to 10 DLT, 9840, T9840, or T9940 tape drives

or a combination of these tape drives.

Digital Linear Tape Drives

Digital Linear Tape (DLT) drives mount inside a 9741/9741E Drive Cabinet.

These drives are high-performance, large-capacity, streaming cartridge tape

products. The tape drive design includes a quad-channel read/write head with

high-efficiency data compression to maximize data throughput and to minimize

access time.

DLT products use half-inch wide tape. The DLTtape™ IV data cartridges are

designed exclusively for the DLT 4000, DLT 7000, and DLT 8000 tape drives.

Operator Panel

Figure 4-3 shows an example of a DLT operator panel. When a library is in manual mode

you will use this panel to load and unload tapes.
