Tape Cartridges
The Scalar 10K automates the retrieval, storage, and control of
LTO, SDLT, and 1/2-inch cartridges.
Two characters are used to identify the cartridge type. For
LTO, SDLT, and 1/2-inch cartridges, the media identifier is
embedded at the end of the barcode label. All code 39 labels
are supported.
Refer to the Scalar 10K Operator Guide for more information on
label types supported by the Scalar 10K.
Insert/Eject Station
With the I/E station, you can add or remove cartridges to or
from the library without interrupting normal library
operation. The I/E Stations are installed on the AM as shown
in
Figure 2-2 on page 2-8.
In the S10K COD configuration, one pair of I/E stations is
included.
In the S10K Customer-Specific configuration, one pair of I/E
stations is included and an additional pair is optional.
In a Dual Aisle configuration, each aisle includes one pair of
I/E stations and an additional pair is optional for each aisle.
Each I/E station has three removable cartridge magazines.
See
Figure 2-7 on page 2-15.
Each I/E station also includes an area designated as the
Problem Box where the gripper can deposit a problem
cartridge to be retrieved by the operator. This is required for
continuous operation. The Problem Box is designed to
accommodate any cartridge size that Scalar 10K supports.
Note
Duplicate
barcode labels
(even with
different media
identifiers) are
NOT supported.
