Integral Fan Cooling
A single forced-air fan is mounted inside each module to provide optimum
cooling for critical parts, and to prevent the drive and robotics electronics,
motors and power supply from overheating.
Library Robotics
The MiniLibrary System features library robotics that can load any of the
cartridges stored in any magazine in the system into any of the tape drives,
moving cartridges among as many as five modules within the MiniLibrary
System.
Bar Code Reader
The bar code reader is mounted on the cartridge shuttle in each module. It
reads bar code labels attached to each cartridge, and maintains the bar code
data in memory as part of the library System Map.
