Overview
21 SSL1016 Tape Autoloader Reference Guide
DCA
The drive carrier assembly (DCA) is configured with one DLT1, SDLT 320, or
Ultrium 460 tape drive, depending on the model. The DCA facilitates the easy
removal of the drive. To change tape drives, you can replace the DCA without
having to remove the top cover of the autoloader.
Barcode Reader
The barcode reader provides inventory feedback to the host application and/or
LCD panel by reading the cartridge barcode labels. The autoloader stores the
customized inventory data in its non-volatile memory.
For best performance, HP recommends using only HP barcode labels:
■ Part number C9240-67903 for DLT or SDLT cartridges
■ Part number C7970B for Ultrium data cartridges
Supported Software
The autoloader supports most major operating systems and is also compatible
with most popular backup software applications.
