The LF 8600 RapidChanger is a write once read many (WORM), high-capacity optical disk drive with an
integral shuttle capable of holding up to six LM 8000/LM 6000/LM 4000 media cartridges. The integral
shuttle moves laterally to position one of six media cartridges for automated loading and unloading into the
optical drive. The LF 8600 RapidChanger provides up to 30 GBytes of online storage or up to 180 GBytes
nearline storage.

The LF 8600 is available in either a Rack Mount or Tower configuration. Two LF 8600 Rack Mount drives
can be mounted side-by-side in an EIA standard 19-inch rack. The Tower is a standalone LF 8600 that can
be located on an open floor or beside a desk.

A Drive Operator Console (DOC) located on the front panel of the drive provides user control of drive
operation and configuration as explained in the operator section of this manual.  Operating messages are
presented on the alphanumeric display in English, French or German. The language used is selectable.
The front panel includes a lockable media access door to provide operator access to the shuttle and media
cartridges.
