Remote Operator Console

The remote operator console is a standard feature that displays the operator panel 

application on a personal computer (PC). A CD containing the Library Console 

software is supplied with each library that you can use to install the application.

Capacities

A basic library can store up to 1,448 data cartridges. This total does not include 

cartridges in the cartridge access port (CAP) or the reserved slots. A total of 198 slots 

are dedicated to diagnostic and cleaning cartridges. See 

 for information on slot locations.

There are also eight drop-off slots in the library, two for each robot. These slots are 

used in the event of a robotic failure when there is still a cartridge in the hand. 

 lists the capacity variations for the SL8500 library.

Elevator 

Elevators provide vertical pass-thru operations between rails within the same library. 

Both elevators are located in the front of the library between the front access doors and 

the Service Safety Door. Each of the four rails share the two elevators. 

Cartridge Access Port (CAP)

CAPs allow operators to enter cartridges and eject cartridges from the library. A total of 

39 cartridges can be imported or ejected at one time through each CAP. SL8500 library 

CAPs are installed on the right access door.
