Magazines
The magazine is a storage assembly that installs on the drive side or
door side of the control module, expansion module, or parking module.
It contains the cartridge slots and provides flexibility when adding
storage cartridges to a module. The LTO magazines hold six cartridges.
Magazines are removable and may have moved during shipment; make
sure they are seated.
