Library Features
This section describes several library features.
Density 3
The library provides a storage density of 720 cartridges (LTO) per square
meter. Each module, also referred to as a frame, has two storage racks:
one on the drive side and another on the door side. A rack consists of up
to 10 horizontal sections and three or four columns of magazines,
depending on the rack configuration. Each magazine, located at the
intersection of a particular section and a particular column, consists of
five or six cartridge slots, depending on the type of media (DLT or LTO
respectively).
