Chapter 2 — Architecture Overview Component Identifiers
December 2019 User Guide—Spectra T200, T380, and T680 Libraries
56
Figure 20 shows the relationship between the DBAs and the locations of
the drives and controllers in the library.
Notes: All component identifiers are numbered consecutively by
type, starting at 1.
DBAs are numbered from the bottom up, with DBA 1 being
the bottom-most location.
In a T380 with TS11xx technology drives, it is possible that only
the top DBA is installed. This DBA is numbered as DBA 3.
Drives are numbered from left to right and bottom to top in a
DBA, as viewed from the back of the library. Each DBA can
hold up to four drives.
