An aluminum die casting that acts as the support platform for the 

other modules and for the tape drive enclosure. The base plate includes the 

precision mounting holes used to install  tape drives into a server or tape library.

(Also known as the faceplate.) A plastic panel that extends the face of a 

tape drive so that it covers a computer’s tape drive bay opening. 

Basic Input/Output System. A set of routines that work closely with the 

hardware to support the transfer of information between various elements of the 

system, such as memory, disks, and peripheral devices.

A sector or group of sectors. DLT-V4 supports block sizes up 16 MB

be sent to a device. The data is usually on its way to or from the tape drive or 

some other peripheral device.

The degree Celsius (°C) is a unit of temperature.

Specialized RAM used as a buffer between a fast CPU or I/O channel and 

storage which has a relatively slow access time (for example, cartridge or 

diskette), to avoid slowing down the former.

At media insertion, the cartridge receiver assembly is 

responsible for guiding the media into its operating position, opening the door, 

unlocking the cartridge brakes, and securing the media for operation. At media 

ejection, the cartridge receiver assembly reverses the process and automatically 

ejects the cartridge a fixed distance from the front of the tape drive.
