26 Tape Library Components Chapter 1
Cartridge Access Port
A cartridge access port (CAP) is the location where you add cartridges to or
remove cartridges from a library without interrupting normal cartridge mounts
and dismounts by the robot. The library may have an optional, second CAP.
Both CAPs are located on the left front door.
The CAP magazine is designed for easy loading. You can access the
magazine by simply pulling down on the magazine handle and adding
cartridges. Or, you can remove the magazine by lifting it out, load the cells,
and place the magazine back into the CAP. Snap-on cartridge retention covers
allow you to keep cartridges in place when transporting magazines.
For detailed procedures, refer to Importing Data Cartridges through the CAP
on page 107 and Library Operation on page 93.

Note For drive and media information specific to your drive
technology, refer to Drives and Media on page 143.
The library can contain the following drive types:
■ HP Ultrium
■ Digital Linear Tape (DLT) 8000
■ 9840
