Exabyte 440 and Exabyte 480
The library’s robotic cartridge handling mechanism (CHM)
responds to commands from the host application to move
data cartridges between tape drives and storage slots, while
the tape drives read and write data. You can insert and
remove cartridges through the entry/exit port without
opening the library door.
