SCSI Connection 1 A low-voltage differential (LVD) SCSI connection links the SuperLoader
to the external host server. LVD connections allow you to have more
devices and longer cable lengths than single ended (SE) SCSI connections.
The LVD SCSI connection uses an 0.8 mm offset Very High Density
(VHD) connector.

Figure 9
shows how the components of the SuperLoader fit together. The
picker sits behind the front panel and mailslot, and can “put” and “get”
cartridges to/from the mailslot, magazines, and tape drive. The drive
carrier assembly (DCA) contains the tape drive, internal power supply,
and cooling fan, and can be removed and replaced as a single component.
