StorageTek Protected
Cartridge Access Port
■ Cartridge Access Port
The CAP is on the bottom right side of the front of the library. The CAP contains a
removable magazine with five storage cells. The operator can leave the magazine in the
CAP and place cartridges into the cells, or remove the magazine, fill or empty the cells
outside of the library, and place the magazine back into the CAP location.
The operator uses the CAP to add cartridges to the library without interrupting normal
robotic command operation. For instance, if Auto Clean is not enabled, a message
appears on the operator panel stating that a drive requires cleaning. When the operator
presses SELECT for the CAP open option on the operator panel, the robot opens the
CAP. The operator can place a cleaning cartridge into the CAP for the robot to retrieve
and place into the drive.
Note: Make sure the magazine is in the CAP before initializing or resetting the library
to prevent an audit failure.
■ Electronics Module
The electronics module (EM) consists of the internal LLC card, and interface
connections and the personality module on the EM frame. One or two optional Fibre
Channel router cards can be installed in the EM.
LLC Card
The LLC card is the processor card. The card contains the hardware to maintain the
robotic components. The card also controls an operator panel interface, a SCSI interface
(HVD or LVD selectable), an Ethernet/Web interface, drive serial ports, and a CSE port.
The card stores the library capacity information from the personality module, and the
volume numbers of the cartridges in the library cells.
See “LLC Card” on page A-5 for more information.
Personality Module
The personality module is a connector that stores the library cell capacity information.
The module reflects a capacity of 40, 60, or 80 cells. The library does not operate unless
an authorized module is attached to the rear of the EM.
Attach the module before powering-on the library for proper initialization. Only remove the module
when installing an upgrade conversion bill, and use the conversion instructions.
See “Viewing the Status of the Personality Module” on page 2-11 and
“Adding Cell and Drive Capacity” on page 2-27 for more information.
