The maximum number of DLT or Ultrium drives is 20. The maximum number of
9840 drives is 12.
As an operator, you might have to:
■ Configure a drive in a library; refer to Drive Entries on page 76.
■ Check drive status information; refer to Drive Status on page 98.
■ Manually mount a cartridge to a drive or dismount a cartridge from a
drive; refer to Loading/Unloading Cartridges Manually on page 131.
Note During typical operation (or automated mode), the library’s
robotic hand-camera assembly automatically places a cartridge
into the drive or removes a cartridge from the drive when a
command is sent from the host software.
