Drive and Tape Operations

Look at the product information labels on the back of the library and the

labels inside each tape door for more information about drive and slot

numbering. The numbering scheme is also illustrated in “Front Panel

Overview” on page 2-3 and “Library Back Panel” on page 1-24.

NOTE The “Home” and “Map” front panel screens illustrate the drive, slot, and

mailslot numbering schemes. Slot numbers displayed in reverse video

indicate those reserved for the mailslot.
