This appendix describes the SL150 Modular Library System walls (sides), tape slots
(also named cells in prior interface manuals), and location scheme.
Library Walls
There are two types of walls in the library:
1. Left side wall, which consists of a 15-cartridge slot magazine array
2. Right side wall, which consists of 15-cartridge slot array magazine and 4-cartridge
slot Mailslot magazine array
Tapes (cartridges) placed in slots lay flat, hub down, and parallel to the floor. To
prevent slippage, tapes are held within their slots by molded-in internal retainer
clips.
Tape Slot Locations
FIGURE A-1, FIGURE A-2, and FIGURE A-3 show valid storage slot, mailslot, and
drive locations.
Tape locations in previous libraries were listed by a LIBRARY Physical addressing
scheme involving "Panel, Row, and Column" indices. SL150 uses the USER Physical
addressing scheme which may change per the component being referenced.
FIGURE A-1 through FIGURE A-3 illustrate where these terms apply.
