TallBot™A high-capacity tall robot. One or two TallBots are used in an SL8500 library. Contrast with HandBot™.

The full name is StreamLine™ TallBot™ high-capacity robotics.

tape driveAn electromechanical device that moves magnetic tape and includes mechanisms for writing and reading data to and from the tape.

tape drive tray assemblyThe mechanical structure that houses a tape drive, fan assembly, power and logic cards, cables, and connectors for data and logic cables. Synonymous with drive tray assembly.

tape storage areaThe area in the Product Name library where cartridges are stored.

tape transport interface

(TTI)An interface to control/monitor tape drive operation.

touch screen operator

control panelAn optional feature consisting of a flat-panel display with a touch screen interface and a panel mount computer. This feature is attached to the front facade.

trackThe horizontal path upon which a robot travels.

track drive mechanismThe component that moves the robot along the track between the storage arrays, CAPs, and tape drives.

TTISee tape transport interface.

turntableA mechanism that transfers cartridges between the aisles within a single library.

U

UA standard unit of measurement of vertical space inside a rack-mount cabinet. One u equals 44.5 mm (1.75 in.).

UARTUniversal asynchronous receiver/transmitter.

unlockedIn the SL8500, status indicating that software has made a CAP available for operator use. An LED is lit when a CAP is unlocked.

AES uses the Rijndael algorithm, officially replacing the Triple DES Method. AES encryption can be done in one pass instead of three and its key size is greater than Triple Desís 168 bits. One of two privacy encryption protocols, AES is a stronger form of encryption than DES see also “Data Encryption Standard”.
