Import/Export Station 2
I/E stations enable you to import and export cartridges without
interrupting normal library operation. The I/E station is installed on the
front of the control module or any of the seven expansion modules. See
figure 1 on page 6 and figure 2 on page 8 to see the location of the I/E
station.
Each I/E station has a capacity of 24 LTO or 20 SDLT cartridges that are
located in four removable magazines.
Cartridges 2
Cartridges are stored in magazines within the library and identified by an
operator-attached, machine-readable barcode label. The library supports
barcode labels with 14 characters plus a one- or two-character media
identifier depending on drive type, LTO or SDLT. The library currently
supports Code 39 (3 of 9) type barcode labels.
Note
The I/E station cannot be configured as a
storage location, but can be part of a a logical
division of library resources known as
partitions.
