CAP Operation
Tape cartridges are entered into and ejected from the CAP. Each CAP has four
magazines, numbered one through four, from the top location to the bottom. Each cell
location in a CAP is assigned an element number.
There is no restriction on how cartridges are entered into a magazine or CAP. When
the CAP door is closed, the robot audits all CAP cell locations for cartridges.
For ejection of cartridges, however, the robot places the target cartridge into the lowest
available element number first. Therefore, an ejection process within a tape library that
has two CAPs, for instance, begins at the optional CAP (CAP B) because it has the
lowest element number.
Placing the Tape Library Online
When you are ready to use the tape library for production, have the operator enter the
system command to place the tape drives and tape library online.
