Library Overview 1-5
Bulk CAP
The bulk CAP consists of eight CAPs located on the front access doors of the library.
There are two CAPs per rail, each with 36 slots (three 12-slot magazines). The library
now comes standard with bulk CAPs. To upgrade a library with rotational CAPs to the
bulk CAP, see "Cartridge Access Ports" on page 1-20.

Rotational CAPs
A rotational CAP consists of 39 slots (three 13-slot magazines). The library came
standard with one rotational CAP, with the option for an additional rotational CAP.
Rotational CAPs are located on the right front access door. A single rotational-CAP
spans across rails 2, 3, and 4. Entering or ejecting cartridges from rail 1 requires an
elevator operation.
