The Library features SmartScale Storage™ – an architecture that lets you
combine multiple units into an integrated library system. This architecture
enables the robotics in each of the Library units to exchange cartridges by
means of a vertical PTM. Under the control of the unit you configure to be the
master unit, the PTM integrates the robotics in the individual slave units into a
single high-performance library robotics system. For more information, see
Chapter 3, "Installing and Removing the Pass-Through Mechanism."
