Represented as Fxx, where F equals the frame and xx equals its number. Regardless
of whether any drives are installed, the frame number for the base frame is 01 and
increments by one for each adjacent expansion frame.
Row number
Represented as Rzz, where R equals the row and zz equals its number. Rows 1
through 12 are available for drives. Regardless of whether drives are installed, the
row numbering is the same for every frame.
Thus, a drive address of F02,R10 means frame 2 (the first expansion frame), row 10.

Logical addresses of drives
This topic describes the logical addresses of tape drives in the TS3500 Tape Library.
The TS3500 Tape Library assigns each drive a SCSI element address that consists of a value
that defines a logical location in the library to the SCSI interface. This logical address is
represented on the operator panel as xxxx(yyyh), where xxxx is a decimal value and yyyh
is a hexadecimal value. It is assigned and used by the application when the server
processes SCSI commands. The SCSI element address for a drive is unique to the drive's
location; it does not vary based on other drives in the library.

Doors
This section describes the doors of the frames of the TS3500 Tape Library.
Located at the front of each frame in the TS3500 Tape Library is the front door. The door
lets you access the cartridge storage slots that are mounted on the door wall and frame wall
(service personnel use the door to access the rail assembly, cartridge accessor, and
accessor controller).
The operator panel ( 1 in Figure 1) is mounted on the front door of the base frame. Also
located on the base frame's door are the power switch 2 and up to two input/output (I/O)
stations 3 and 4 . A door handle 5 and a keylock (with key) 6 are included on the front
door of all frames (the keys to all front doors are interchangeable). To unlock and open the
