These configuration options enable you to add cartridge capacity without changing
libraries. In addition, simpler mechanics and pinpoint cartridge location translate to
faster, more accurate movements.
■
Cartridge Access Port
You insert cartridges into the library through the cartridge access port (CAP). The CAP
holds one cartridge in the L20, two cartridges in the L40, and five in a removable
magazine in the L80. With the CAP, you can load batch jobs quickly and easily without
interrupting library operation.
