• If panels 1 and 2 (or 1, 2, and 3) are converted to a new media type, the left loa d port can
be used to insert or remove media from the converted panels. The right load port is used to
insert or remove media from the existing panels.
• The type of media added to your library is on the left side of the library only; therefore, the
additional media type has only one column of load port capacity, and the existing media type
hastwocolumnsofloadportcapacity.
These are important when determining the library storage capacity. Storage capacity in a mixed-media
library depends on the quantity of panels exchanged, the lo cation of media types you a re using, whether
the load por ts are enabled, and the number of drives in the library.
NOTE:
In order to use mixed media, the library must be at firmware revision level 2.0 or greater. Update the
firmware before installing mixed media in the library.
