A carousel that positions the specified cartridge slot in front of the tape 
drive. A robotic cartridge loader moves the cartridges between the cartridge 
slots and the tape drive. 
Storage for as many as eight data cartridges. Cartridges are stored in 
cartridge slots mounted on the carousel. One of these cartridge slots can 
contain a cleaning cartridge.
A cartridge access door for importing or exporting a single cartridge from 
the autoloader.
A LCD that lets you monitor autoloader operations, select configuration 
options, and control the cartridge loader and carousel from the front panel.
Independent SCSI controllers for the autoloader and tape drive. Each 
controller supports independent sets of SCSI messages and commands. The 
autoloader and the tape drive use a wide, low-voltage differential (LVD) 
SCSI interface.
