locations.
Cartridges placed in cells lie flat, hub down and parallel to the floor. To prevent
slippage, cartridges are held within their cell by internal retainer clips.
Cartridge Cell Locations – Data Cartridges
Cartridge locations in previous libraries were listed by Panel, Row, and Column.
Cartridge cell designations within a SL500 library require four parameters LSM,
Module, Column, Row:
1. LSM (Library number) — Within a library or library complex
2. Module — Modules are numbered 1,2,3... etc., from the top of the library to the
bottom
3. Column number – Columns are represented by numbers 1 through 11. Column
1 is the front most column on the left side of the library, and columns increase to
column 4 along the left wall. Column 5 is on the right side of the library closest
