Library magazines

Looking from the front of the library, each left tape magazine includes a mail slot, which is
accessible when that magazine door is open. When this mail slot pivots forward, you can insert or
remove a single tape without having to unlock, remove, and reinventory the magazine. If a full tape
cartridge magazine is required, the library can be reconfigured to recognize each mail slot as a
standard data slot. The right tape magazine contains fixed cartridge slots (no mail slot feature), so it
retains its full capacity at all times.
NOTE: The slots and mail slots are numbered beginning with 0: the first slot is Slot 0, the second is
Slot 1, etc. SDLT magazine maximum capacity is 26 slots; LTO magazine maximum capacity is 30
slots.
