Drive carrier When you purchase the library, each tape
drive in the library is fitted inside a drive carrier. The drive
carrier allows you to slide the drive in and out of the library
if the tape drive needs repair or if you are adding new tape
drives.
Because the tape drives have different faceplates, there are
different drive carriers for Mammoth tape drives and
Eliant 820 tape drives, as shown below. Because of the
different SCSI connectors, there is a third drive carrier for
Mammoth wide SCSI tape drives (not shown).
Note: You must purchase the tape drive pre-installed in
the drive carrier.
