Filtering Slots by Location
You can specify the slots that you want to appear in the status list by selecting the location from the
Filter area of the Slots Status dialog box.
To filter slots by location:
1. Perform steps 1–3 of Monitoring Slots Status .
2. Click the appropriate option from each of the Location drop-down lists:
• Aisle
• Module
• Rack
• Section
• Column
• Row
The defaults are set to All unless a drop-down list does not have more than one option. For ex-
ample, the Aisle drop-down list is always set to 1 by default because only one aisle exists in the
library. Therefore, the drop-down list also is grayed out and selections cannot be made from it.
These selections correspond to location coordinates for the physical library. For example, to select
all slots in the drive-side rack of the control module, click 1 for module, 1 for rack, All for section,
All for column, and All for row. For more information about location coordinates, see
Understand-
ing Location Coordinates .
