Expansion Unit
The Expansion Unit (Figure 1-1) integrates the robotics in the individual
modules into a single, coordinated library robotics system. The Expansion
Unit performs and maintains an inventory of all media present in the system,
including bar code data. All necessary system control operations can be
performed from the control panel of the Expansion Unit, as well as from the
host via software. The SCSI interface for the library robotics is designed for
high-speed communication with the host and for Fast Wide SCSI
configurations.
