Tape Drive Locations
The location coordinates of a drive are based on the position of the drive in the module and section.
• Tape drives are always in rack 1, column 1, of a particular module.
• Columns are read from left to right as you face the rack.
• Because all drives in the library are full-height drives, each drive is in row 1 of the designated
section.
• The library can accommodate 2 drive clusters per rack with each drive cluster containing up to 6
drives.
• Drive number 1 is in the lowest section of the lower drive cluster. Drives are numbered from bottom
to top.
Figure 19 shows the physical location of drive 9. Compare with Table 13 .
