Chapter 3 Basic Usage
Assigned Element Addresses
An element is a physical location where a cartridge is kept. Applications use
element addresses to differentiate between the elements of the AIT autoloader.
In AIT autoloader, the element addresses are assigned to the cartridge slots and
the AIT drive as illustrated below.
Note
Because element addresses of the AIT autoloader are fixed numbers, they
cannot be reassigned.
Handling the Cartridges
When handling or storing the cartridges, note the following.
Handling
• Do not subject the cartridges to strong vibrations. Do not drop the cartridges.
• When loading a cartridge into the AIT autoloader, the lid of the cartridge
opens up automatically. Do not manually open the lid and touch the interior
tape.
• The cartridge is preadjusted at the factory, so do not disassemble it.
• The tab of a cartridge is used to prevent writing to the cartridge by accident.
If the cartridge does not need to be written to, move the tab to write-protect it.
