CAP Operations

Note – This section describes general CAP activities applying to all libraries. For specific information on CAP activities in partitioned libraries, see “Partitions and CAPs” on page 151.

CAPs (cartridge access ports) allow a library operator to enter or eject cartridges to or from the library. You can use the CAPs only when the library is in automated mode.

The CAP in the Base Module has one five-cell magazine; the CAP in the Drive Expansion Module has two five-cell magazines. Optionally, the CAP can be configured for five (in Base Module) or ten (in expansion module) additional storage cells instead of enter and eject operations.
