Notes:
Each chamber accommodates one TeraPack magazine. Each magazine has

If you plan to create multiple partitions, be sure to reserve enough
chambers to configure the other partitions.
If you licensed all of the chambers in the library and want to use a cleaning
partition, be sure to reserve enough chambers for the cleaning partition. If
you did not license all of the chambers in the library, the unlicensed
chambers are available for use in cleaning partitions.
