where:
ll:LSM number
pp:Panel
rr:Row in the panel
cc:Column in the row
See “Locating a Cartridge and Drive” on page 50 to locate a cartridge using the Library Console.
Although the library management software follows a five digit numbering scheme as that of the SL8500 address there are significant differences in slot designations, CAP behavior, and other operational considerations as described below (see also “PTP Addressing Scheme” on page 34).
Library Storage Module (LSM)
The SL8500 library has four rails on which robots travel. The host software considers each SL8500 rail as a separate LSM. From top to bottom, SL8500 rails are numbered from 1 - 4 while the host LSMs are numbered from 0 - 3. For example, SL8500 rail 1 is Host LSM 0.
TABLE A-5 Rail Numbering
Host | Internal Firmware |

LSM 0 | Rail 1 |
|

LSM 1 | Rail 2 |
|

LSM 2 | Rail 3 |

LSM 3 | Rail 4 |

Panel Designations
■Panel 0 = cartridge access port (CAP)
■Panel 1 = drive panel
■The data cartridge slots start their numbering after the drive bay (Panel 1) forward.
