Indicator LEDs provide a visible indicator of the state of health of the drive. See
terns" on page 23 for details.

There is no door. Instead there are two fixed guides to guide the cartridge into the drive.

The indent for a label on the left just under the cartridge opening is left blank, exposing two holes.
These can be used to provide a target for the optical position sensor of a library picker.
•
There are additional holes around the cartridge opening to allow a throat to be fitted if necessary,
to help the smooth loading of cartridges.
