Capacity Module

The front panel of the Capacity Module is identical to the Global Control Module. It includes
a power switch for the module, the magazine door, the Magazine Security Lock, the
Unlock/Open button with its Locked indicator, and the control panel shown in Figure 3-2. The
Capacity Module has a 16-slot magazine, and no tape drives.

Tape Requirements

The LibraryXpress uses ECMA-approved and ANSI proposed-standards DLTtape cartridges.
The DLTtape cartridge is a four inch square plastic cartridge. According to the media
manufacturer, the cartridge and the medium are designed to withstand 1,000,000 passes, and
to have a shelf life of 30 years when properly stored.

Cartridge Handling and Storage

A DLTtape cartridge should be stored vertically until you select it for use. Do not expose a
cartridge to moisture or direct sunlight. Maintain a clean, dust-free working and storage
environment.
