This design allows the addition and removal of cartridges from the
front of a magazine. The CHM can pick and place cartridges from the
rear of the magazine.
The CHM contains sensors that monitor cartridge location, gripper
location and timing information. These sensors allow the library to
operate as a random access system that provides direct, quick access to
any of the cartridges in the storage array.
The tape drive in the L200 library is bezel-free and has a contoured
handle (see figure 8). This enables the drive to fit easily into the
1
reduced drive area of the library.
