General Description
2 SuperLoader User’s Guide
The SuperLoader contains either the DLT1, SDLT 220, SDLT 320,
SDLT 600, HP LTO-1, or HP LTO-2 tape drive, and one or two magazines
containing up to eight cartridges each. A single cartridge can be inserted
directly via a password-protected mailslot. The cartridge inserts directly
into the tape drive provided there is no cartridge already in the drive, or
you can load the cartridge into a magazine slot provided there is no
cartridge already in the slot.
The front panel on the SuperLoader includes a liquid crystal display
(LCD) screen and four function keys. A scrolling menu on the LCD screen
allows you to obtain information from the SuperLoader and enter
commands. The front panel also includes two light emitting diodes
(LEDs) indicating the SuperLoader’s ready status and error status.
The SuperLoader connects to your host server via a SCSI connection
allowing the host to send data and commands automatically. You can
also connect to the SuperLoader using an Ethernet connection to perform
administrative functions and download system updates.
