1Library Specifications and

Site Requirements

This section provides the library physical specifications and
addresses the floor and electrical requirements of the site.

Library Description 1

The Quantum|ATL 7100 Series library (library) is the automated
storage and retrieval component of an automated tape library
system (see figure 1
capable of storing a maximum of 96 tape cartridges in a Fixed
Storage Array (FSA). An operator-accessible load port at the front
of the library can hold an additional four tape cartridges for a
maximum total of 100.

Quantum|ATL 7100 Series Facilities Planning and Installation Guide 1

). It contains up to seven tape drives and is

Chapter 1 Library Specifications and Site Requirements

Library Descriptio n

A host computer communicates with the library through a SCSI
interface using the SCSI-2 medium changer command set. In a
typical operation, the host commands the robotics to transfer tape
cartridges between storage bins (in the FSA), tape drives or the
load port. Each time a tape cartridge is transferred, a gripping
mechanism is moved to the tape cartridge location where it
“picks” the tape cartridge, moves it to the designated (new)
location and then “places” it.

Supported Tape Drives and Cartridges

Bin and T ape Drive Numbering Conventions

The library is capable of supporting up to seven tape drives.

• FSA bins

• Load port bins

• Tape drives.

This num bering convention is used in the diagnostic soft ware and
the library menu mode, which is viewed in the status display area
of the control panel.
