Tape Drive Location Coordinates
The designation for drives is based on the position of the drive in the module and section.
Tape drives are always in rack "1", column "1" of a particular module.
Columns are read from left to right as you face the rack.
The number of drive sections in a rack varies per media type. Full height drives, like LTO, have twelve sections. All
drives are in row "1" of the relevant section.
The library can accommodate two six-drive LTO drive clusters per rack.
The number of drives in a drive cluster varies by drive type.
Drive number "1" is in the lowest section of the lower drive cluster. Drives are numbered from bottom to top. Figure 6
calls out the physical location of drive 9, which is the last of the drives cited in the Move Media dialog box shown in
Figure 5 . Compare with Table 4 .
