Cartridge Access Port A cartridge access port (CAP) is the location where you add cartridges to or remove cartridges from a library without interrupting normal cartridge mounts and dismounts by the robot. The library may have an optional, second CAP. Both CAPs are located on the left front door. The CAP magazine is designed for easy loading. You can access the magazine by simply pulling down on the magazine handle and adding cartridges. Or, you can remove the magazine by lifting it out, load the cells, and place the magazine back into the CAP. Snap-on cartridge retention covers allow you to keep cartridges in place when transporting magazines.
