First Storage Element Address - This field returns 1000h, which is the address of the first storage element. Number of Storage Elements - This field varies, depending on the configuration of the subsystem. First Import/Export Element Address - This field returns 0010h, which is the address of the first Import/ Export element. Number of Import/Export Elements - This field varies, depending on the configuration of the subsystem. If no Import/Export elements are installed, this field returns zero. First Data Transfer Element Address - This field returns 0100h, which is the address of the first data transfer element (drive). Number of Data Transfer Elements - This field varies, depending on the configuration of the subsystem. Transport Geometry Parameters Page (1Eh) The Transport Geometry Parameters page describes whether a medium transport element is a member of a set of elements that share a common robotics subsystem, and whether it is capable of handling doublesided media. Dell libraries currently contain a single medium transport element, so all are the first element in a set of one.

SCSI Commands
First Storage Element Address
– This field returns 1000h, which is the address of the first storage
element.
Number of Storage Elements
– This field varies, depending on the configuration of the subsystem.
First Import/Export Element Address
– This field returns 0010h, which is the address of the first Import/
Export element.
Number of Import/Export Elements
– This field varies, depending on the configuration of the subsystem.
If no Import/Export elements are installed, this field returns zero.
First Data Transfer Element Address
– This field returns 0100h, which is the address of the first data
transfer element (drive).
Number of Data Transfer Elements
– This field varies, depending on the configuration of the subsystem.
Transport Geometry Parameters Page (1Eh)
The Transport Geometry Parameters page describes whether a medium transport element is a member of
a set of elements that share a common robotics subsystem, and whether it is capable of handling double-
sided media. Dell libraries currently contain a single medium transport element, so all are the first element
in a set of one.
Parameters Savable (PS)
– This page is not savable, and this field is set to zero.
Page Code
– This field identifies the Transport Geometry Parameters mode page and returns 1Eh.
Parameter List Length
– This field is set to 02h, since only a single medium transport is reported.
Rotate
– This field returns 0, since double-sided media is not supported.
Member Number In Medium Transport Element Set
– This field returns 0, since the library has a single
medium transport.
