CAP Operations

CAP Operations
Note – This section describes general CAP activities applying to all libraries. For
specific information on CAP activities in partitioned libraries, see "Partitions and
CAPs" on page 151.
CAPs (cartridge access ports) allow a library operator to enter or eject cartridges to or
from the library. You can use the CAPs only when the library is in automated mode.
The CAP in the Base Module has one five-cell magazine; the CAP in the Drive
Expansion Module has two five-cell magazines. Optionally, the CAP can be configured
for five (in Base Module) or ten (in expansion module) additional storage cells instead
of enter and eject operations.
