5.2 Introduction to the Mini-Library
The mini-library option includes a DLT4000 tape drive, a media loader, and a 7-
cartridge removable magazine.
The same SCSI target controller board controls the tape drive and the media loader.
The tape drive is always LUN 0. If the controller detects the loader's presence when
the system is turned on, the loader is presented as a SCSI-2 medium changer device
on LUN 1.
The SCSI-2 medium changer commands allow:
1. Random access to the media stored in the magazine slots
2. Sequential access of the media supported automatically in auto-loading mode
