Library Features
10 ATL M-Series User’s Guide
Each cartridge magazine holds 10 DLT/SDLT cartridges or 12 LTO
cartridges. The bins in the left magazines are numbered from 1
through 10 (or 12 in LTO libraries) from front to back. The bins in
the right magazines are numbered from 1 through 10 (or 12 in LTO
libraries) from back to front.
The ATL M1500 has one fixed cartridge slot behind the left
magazine. The ATL M2500 has four fixed cartridge slots, one
behind each left magazine. The fixed cartridge slots can be used as
additional data cartridge bins, or can be used to hold cleaning
tapes, which can be moved to a tape drive when cleaning is
required.
A bar code reader is attached to the library’s robotic hand. This bar
code reader automatically identifies the cartridges in the library, if
the cartridges are fitted with acceptable bar code labels.
