Installing Cartridges in Cartridge Slots

This section provides instructions for installing cartridges into the cartridge slots. These
instructions assume that you are manually placing the cartridges into the slots rather
than importing them into the library using the I/O ports.
You can store cartridges in the following locations:
• Cartridge bays. Depending on the model, the XLS can accommodate as many as
seven cartridge bays, which are interchangeable with drive bays. Each cartridge
bay provides storage slots for 30 cartridges.
• Rear wall. Depending on the model, the rear wall of the XLS has up to 240
cartridge slots. Of these, five slots are reserved for use by the calibration
cartridge and up to four cleaning cartridges.
• Door. As an option, each on the LRM can include 110 cartridge slots.
Note:
• Expansion Pods. As an option, each on an XLS-812300 includes 120 cartridge
slots.
• Carousels. The two carousels in an XLS-8161100 each provide storage slots for
315 cartridges.
• Fixed port assemblies. If fewer than four I/O ports are installed, the library
includes one or more fixed port assemblies behind the front panel. Each fixed port
assembly includes 10 cartridge slots.
