Dell PowerVault TL4000 - Manual (Page 118)

Configure: Library
Note: The Remove DCS No is only available on libraries with the DCS feature.
The following library configuration items are in this menu:
v Mode :
– Random: In random mode, the library allows the server's (host's) application
software to select any data cartridge in any order.
– Sequential: In sequential mode, the library's firmware predefines the selection
of the cartridges. After initialization, the firmware causes the library to select
the first available cartridge found (counting from the I/O Station through slot
23) for loading into the drive.
Important: If a Logical Library in Sequential Mode contains more than one
drive, only the first drive in the Logical Library will be utilized.
