2-8 System Description
6-00054-02 Rev A
Cartridge Storage
The Scalar 1000 contains cartridge storage cells in all attached
modules in addition to any tape drives installed. The CM
must be the first frame in the library.
Table 2-3 shows the coordinates for the storage cells for
libraries with Firmware 2.24 or earlier installed.
The Frame number can be from one to four; the Columns are
letters A to E in each module; the Rows are numbered from
top to bottom (1 to 42 for 3590 and DLT cartridges, and 1 to 63
for AIT cartridges).
For libraries with Firmware level 2.3 or later, use the
following coordinate system to locate different elements
(storage cell, drive, etc.) within the library. See Table 2-4.
The Element Type can be I for I/E Station, D for Drive, and S
for Storage. The frame number can be from one to four. The
Sections are numbered, for storage, from one to four top to
bottom, and for drives, one to two bottom to top. The
Columns are letters A to E in each section, the Rows are
numbered 1 to a maximum of 18 from top to bottom
depending on the section. See Figure 2-2 on page 2-9.
