Data Cartridge Receiver 1

On tape insertion, the data cartridge receiver assembly guides the tape

into its operating position, opens the data cartridge door, unlocks the

data cartridge brakes, engages the data cartridge drive motor, and

secures the tape for operation. On tape ejection, the data cartridge

receiver assembly reverses the process and automatically ejects the tape a

fixed distance from the front of the tape drive.

Positive Engagement Tape Leader Buckling Mechanism

The buckling mechanism is responsible for engaging the tape leader upon

data cartridge load and disengaging it on data cartridge unload. See

Positive Engagement Tape Leader Buckling Mechanism

for more

information.

Front Panel Module 1 The Front Panel Module (FPM) of the system (sometimes referred to as

the bezel) performs a number of functions:

• Protecting the front of the TCM from physical damage

• Channeling airflow through the system

• Aligning the data cartridge when it is inserted into the system

• Providing system status and information through LEDs

• Enabling data cartridge ejection

• Delivering the overall cosmetic look of the system.

The FPM is a single module with lenses for the system’s LEDs and a

button to activate the drive eject switch. The SDLT 600 tape drive front

panel contains no electronics.

Electronic Interface

Module

The Electronic Interface Module (EIM) is the electronic heart of the SDLT

600 tape drive system. It provides the main control function for the

system and the interface from the system to the host computer, library, or

autoloader. The EIM provides the Advanced PRML feature of Quantum’s

SDLT technology. See Advanced Partial Response Maximum Likelihood

on page 5 for a brief description of PRML.
