Super DLTtape drives into a server or tape library. The TCM acts
as the prime base plate for the Super DLTtape system.
bus A communication pathway between components in a computer
system.
C C Celsius. A measurement of temperature where 0 degrees is the
freezing and 100 degrees is the boiling point of water.
cartridge receiver At tape insertion, the cartridge receiver assembly is
responsible for guiding the tape into its operating position,
opening its door, unlocking the cartridge brakes, and securing
the tape for operation. At tape ejection, the cartridge receiver
assembly reverses the process and automatically ejects the tape
a fixed distance from the front of the drive.
compressed capacity Capacity after data has been processed to
reduce storage space while maintaining data integrity using
either software or hardware.
cartridge tape module (CPTM) The Super DLTtape CTM contains the
AMP media feature of Quantum’s LGMR technology. The main
function of the CTM is to provide the magnetic recording media
used by the drive to store customer information. The CTM also
provides the protective cartridge that allows the media to be
removed and stored safely.
D data compression A process that reduces the amount of storage
space required to hold a particular block of data. Data transfer
speed and total tape capacity are affected by the data
compression achieved. In accordance with industry practice, a
typical compression ratio is 2:1 of data storage. Actual
compression ratios achieved are dependent on the redundancy
of data files being recorded.
data control module (DCM) The DCM contains several of the
functions and features of Quantum’s LGMR technology, which is
at the heart of the Super DLTtape technology. Of the five
technologies that constitute the LGMR technology, two are
found in the DCM. These are the POS and the MRC heads. The
main functions of the DCM are to provide the path and guides
