IBM TS2900 - Location Coordinates; Library Specifications

Note: Each column has a spring-loaded mechanism that pushes a tape cartridge into Tier 1 when it is the
only cartridge in that column. A single cartridge in a column takes on the Tier 2 element address even
though it is physically in Tier 1.
A storage element address is assigned to each cartridge at the time the cartridge is inserted. Storage
element addresses range from 4097 to 4105 (0x1001 to 0x1009) when the I/O station is not enabled, and
from 4097 to 4104 (0x1001 to 0x1008) when the I/O station is enabled.
