System Expansion

A DLT MiniLibrary system can be expanded in capacity or performance or
both by adding or removing components. Associated with each component is a
section of the Pass-Thru Mechanism. The MiniLibrary Storage system
firmware integrates the robotics in the individual modules and the Expansion
Unit Pass-Thru Mechanism into a single high-performance library robotics
system.

Free-Standing MiniLibrary Base Modules
Conversion

You can add existing MiniLibrary Base Modules to your system by changing
firmware, resetting internal jumpers, removing the pass-through cover plate,
and in some cases converting from desktop to rack mount. These tasks should
be performed by qualified service personnel. Contact your technical support
representative for instructions.
