Figure 40 on page 370 shows the section, column, and row numbering for
rack 2 of a library that contains LTO cartridges. See figure 38 on page 367
to review rack numbering.
• Tape drives that are installed in rack 1 of a
control module or an expansion module replace
storage in columns 1 and 2. Because drives are
installed from the bottom to the top, you lose the
storage starting in section 10 first. You do not
lose the magazine in columns 1 and 2 of section
5.
• Column 1 never contains storage in the control
module.
The cartridges in the I/E station are addressed as
part of column 3 and are in sections 1 through 4
(top to bottom). When you have an I/E station
installed on rack 2, there are no cartridges in
columns 3 and 4 of section 5. See
figure 40 on
page 370.
