Tape Drive

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 is mounted to a sturdy metal bracket assembly
which includes a built-in fan unit and SCSI data connectors. It
affords easy access in the event that the drive requires
replacement.
