Internal Address

The internal address is a five-digit comma-separated value (L,R,C,S,W) representing Library, Rail, Column, Side, Row, viewed from inside the library facing the drive bays. This addressing scheme is used by the firmware and internal communications to represent all devices and locations within the library.

Library number (within a library complex)

Rail number: Rails are numbered 1 through 4, rail 1 is the top rail

Column number: Columns, where +1 is right of the center of the drive bays and -1 is left of the center of the drive bays

Side number: Outer walls = 1, inner walls = 2 (all drives are side 1, the outer walls)

Row number: Numbered consecutively, from the top (1) down
