1.3.4 Magazine
There are two types of magazines: one can hold 18 cartridges, and the other can hold 12 cartridges.
The library houses the 18-cartridge-type magazine in the front and the 12-cartridge-type magazine in
the back.
The 18-cartridge-type magazine has nine columns, and the 12-cartridge-type magazine has six
columns. Each column can hold two tape cartridges inserted end to end.
When two or more drives are mounted, the drive slot is used as the escape slot. When only one
drive is mounted, an escape slot module is provided for temporarily storing tape cartridges.
1.3.4.1 Slot number
The slot numbers range from 1 to 30 for T30A and from 1 to 60 for T60A. In each column, the
slot in the back has the smaller slot number.
When a column contains one tape cartridge, that tape cartridge is housed in the front slot and an odd
number is assigned to this slot. When another tape cartridge is inserted into the same column, the
previously inserted tape cartridge is moved to the back slot and the slot number of this back slot
changes to an odd number. An even number is assigned to the front slot that now contains the newly
inserted tape cartridge.
Figure 1-4 Slot Number of Magazine(Above:T30A,Below:T60A)
-7-
1.3.4.2 Active Slot
This slot is used to store a data cartridge.
There are as many active slots as the value of Active Slots specified from the operator panel. For
details, see "4.4.2.1 Library Settings”
1.3.4.3 I/O station
This slot is used to insert tape cartridges into the library as well as to eject tape cartridges.
You can set whether to enable or disable the I/O station from the operator panel. For details, see
“4.4.2.1Library Settings”
If you enable the I/O station, the magazine slot numbers shown below are assigned to the I/O station
slots.
Slot numbers: 29/30 for T30A; 59/60 for T60A.
By default, the I/O station function is disabled.
1.3.4.4 Escape slot
This slot is used to temporarily store tape cartridges when moving tape cartridges inside this product.
When only one drive is mounted, an escape slot module is provided at the location where an additional
drive is usually mounted and this module is used as the escape slot.
When two or more drives are mounted, the drive slot is used as the escape slot.
1.3.4.5 Cleaning Slot
This slot contains a cleaning cartridge for auto cleaning. Since auto cleaning is not available, this
slot is normally not used.
If you enable auto cleaning from the operator panel or remote management interface, the inactive
slot containing a cleaning cartridge is automatically assigned as the cleaning slot. (A barcode label is
used to judge whether a cartridge is a cleaning cartridge. A cleaning cartridge without a barcode
label is not recognized as such.)

1.4 Encryption
This function allows you to encrypt cartridges by setting either an encryption key automatically
generated from the master key or a separately specified encryption key to the drive.
The library stores encryption keys and manages them individually on a cartridge-by-cartridge basis
using barcode labels.
This function is disabled by default. It is enabled when a license key is input from the remote
management interface.
When enabled, the encryption function behaves as follows:
Setting the encryption function requires administrator authority.
The library has a database that can hold encryption keys for 2000 cartridges.
If an attempt is made to store encryption keys for more than 2000 cartridges in the database, the
stored data is deleted starting with the oldest encryption key.
The encryption key database can be saved and restored by using the remote management interface.
