HP StoreEver ESL G3 Tape Libraries - Manual (Page 89)

Figure 14 Section, column, and row numbering for rack 1 - LTO cartridges
2. Row (individual slot) 1. Column
4. Section 3. X-axis rail counts as section 6
NOTE: Tape drives that are installed in rack 1 of a control module or an expansion module
replace storage in columns 1 and 2. Because drives are installed from the bottom to the top, you
lose the storage starting in section 10 first. You do not lose the magazine in columns 1 and 2 of
section 5.
Column 1 never contains storage in the control module.
Figure 15 (page 90) shows the section, column, and row numbering for rack 2 of a library that
contains LTO cartridges. This is shown as you face the inside of the opened module door.
NOTE: The cartridges in the 24-slot LTO I/E station are addressed as part of column 3 and are
in sections 1 through 4 (top to bottom). When you have an I/E station installed on rack 2, there
are no cartridges in columns 3 and 4 of section 5. See
Figure 15 (page 90) .
