Look at the product information labels located on the fifth level on the
back of the library and at 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 1-12.
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.
