I/O Ports

As shown in Figure 2-16, I/O ports on the front of the LRM allow cartridges to be
imported or exported without opening the door(s) and interrupting XLS operations. Each
I/O port holds 10 cartridges in a removable magazine. Depending on the model, the XLS
can include one, two, or four I/O ports. For each I/O port that is not installed, the library
includes 10 additional cartridge storage slots, called fixed port assemblies.
Each I/O port includes an I/O port solenoid, which allows the I/O port to be opened
electrically from X-Link, and an I/O port open sensor, which detects if the I/O port is open.
The I/O port sensors are controlled by the user interface controller DCB on the back of the
front panel.
